What are they about?

Both unique and interesting.

Century of the self is about The establishment and leaders try to manipulate us through the growth of the mass-consumer society, based on Freudian theories, in Britain and the United States.

Hard to explain really. It's good though and it's very highly rated.

Bitter lake focuses on Saudi Arabia and oil. But also how shows how the narrative politicians try to craft have become so simplified that most people cannot really see or understand what's going on in the world properly.

It starts off with a meeting between US President Roosevelt and King Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia in 1945, and goes on to examine the west's increasingly murky dealings with the middle east.

Ok they sound interesting. I've added them to my watch later. Cheers again.
 

Watched Forks over Knives on Netflix the other day. It charts the course of two medical researchers, highly respected in their fields, both independently coming to the same conclusion. Eliminating animal-based products from your diet and replacing them with plant based products and whole foods can helps to control and even reverse the effects of diseases such as Diabetes and certain Cancers. Heavily biased to veggies but the statistical data is fairly conclusive.

Food for thought...pardon the pun.
 
Heroes of Helmand on Channel 4 tonight.

Amazing documentary about a lightly armed British platoons fight for survival whilst under prolonged siege by the Taliban at a small town in Helmand.

Amazing footage shot by the soldiers themselves. Incredibly powerful and moving documentary.

You can see in the eyes of the soldiers what it did to them and how badly it affected them / still does.

Highly recommended .
