Not docs, but flicks. I feel like I've run out of them. Any language, any era is fine.

I will also accept 👁 movies, as I feel like they live in the same space. Honestly I think 👁 movies are left as well, as they're ultimately about how capital operates

    The English title is Burn!, and I think it's fantastic. :parenti: talks about it, about a film that actually discusses how and why imperialism works. He draws a distinction between it and Ghandi, as the latter never acknowledges why the Brits were occupying India in the first place.

      Yh also how was it acceptable even at the time for Ghandi to be played by a white englishman in that flick?

            Yeah, I mean he's from different caste so it's not all good but could have been worse

              this could be me showing my ignorance here but isn't the caste system pretty antithetical to leftism. I've known people it has had pretty bad effects on

                Yeah of course. So has racism, that doesn't mean we should ignore race.
