My gf has the correct political vibes so to speak, but no theoretical basis or knowledge of history. However, she is interested in watching documentaries on the subject, so which are the ones you found most valuable? Thanks in advance

Oliver Stone's series "Untold History of the United States" really helped to open my eyes to the depravity of the US when I was first learning about socialist politics. It gets a little socdem at parts, but for the most part is just a really solid accounting of the US's crimes in the 20th century. You should be able to find it streaming online, but pm me if you can't.
"My Brothers and Sisters in the North" is a good look at life in the DPRK, and not just in Pyongyang. This one's on youtube.
The Act of Killing is a very intense look into the perpetrators of the genocide in Indonesia in the 60s. I haven't watched the follow-up "The Look of Silence", but I've heard it's good as well. I think these are on netflix, but pm me if you want.
