Al Jazeera has done some really nice docs, especially about the global financial crisis and the top 1%.

Here's a comprehensive one they did about the global financial collapse called Meltdown (four-part series):

You can find parts 2-4 in the margins. The insights are truly groundbreaking. Shit you won't find on CNN.

This is one they did on the top 1% (25-min clip)

Other documentaries I like in general are:

The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson (epic):

The War on Democracy by John Pilger (fascinating glimpse into the history of American imperialism in Latin America):

Though not really a documentary, this interview with the author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman is eye-opening. I actually know John Perkins and have met up with him twice in the Bay Area (see attached pic). He's got some wild stories:

If I think of any more, I'll revisit this thread and drop some links.
