Last year I had the privilege of watching two really great documentaries:

Connections - James Burke

Century of the Self

It's hard to judge the lasting impact both these docs will have on me, but boy, I can't even remember how I used to think before watching them. Watching Century of the Self and the AMC show Mad Men right after was also a very interesting contrast.

I love James Burke. The first "Connections" is available on Kanopy if you have a library card. Lots of episodes on Youtube too.

"The Day the Universe Changed" was my intro to Burke; I loved it as a child an still as an adult.

I'm a big fan of most of Adam Curtis' documentaries...I like The Power of Nightmares the best
