As an alternative if you have suggestions for documentary sources please do share them.
Mine would be United States of Secrets by PBS Frontline.
LEMMiNO is also great! One of the best documentary makers ever!

All the Adam Curtis documentaries are worth seeing in my opinion. I would try to watch them chronologically, so you can see how his theories develop over time. The must see short list I recommend would be:
The Century of the Self - 2002
The Power of Nightmares - 2004
The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom - 2007
All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace - 2011
Can't Get You Out of My Head - 2021
Craig Baldwin directed a great documentary about intellectual property and music production titled Sonic Outlaws - 1995
An oldie, but well worth the watch, is titled The Atomic Cafe - 1982
Stare Into the Lights My Pretties - 2017 is about our new found pastime: screen time
And on that note I will stop for now.
Wow, thank you for the list sir! this list.. is totally hidden gem for me who's know nothing about many documentary movies.
I”ve watched all Curtis’ stuff apart from TraumaZone and I couldn’t agree more. I watched the first episode of that one a couple of night ago, I’m still processing.
I like his story-telling approach to narrative. I have yet to watch TraumaZone, but it's on my list.
I put it off because there’s no narration in TraumaZone, just captions but it works so well.
