Looking to watch some good documentaries. If political/history then documentaries that have at least a little leftist analysis of the subject would be great.

    Fantastic Fungi

    that doc is so fucking dope. i really liked it a lot, but i gotta say there was a guy on there who made some big claims about how the human consciousness evolved by consuming psychedelic mushrooms and while it's definitely very possible it contributed to our evolution, i felt like it was a little too narrow of a claim. i mean just the process of cooking food was major and gave them different proteins the body and mind could handle, that mattered a lot too. He seemed like a very eccentric guy and i'll absolutely give him the benefit of the doubt cause of how like all media is edited that they may have cut out some things. idk it kinda bothered me how they drew such a massive conclusion to one thing like that. everything else in the film was very fuckin cool though, i try to get people to watch it all the time
