I usually blog about atheism and religion but Ii am also very interested in anti-globalization movement. These are two really influential documentaries about the American Empire and corporations. You may think "this topic is not new, we already know that corporations control the whole system on the world", but these two documentaries encourage you to go out and do something.
Why we fight (2005) - Eugene Jarecki : http://www.sonyclassics.com/whywefight/
This 2005 documentary does a great job to clarify the reasons why the USA is in Iraq and why "fighting" is a must for the American Empire. Also don't miss the study guide which is a short-book about the historical details of American urge for blood:

The Corporation (2003) - written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott : http://www.thecorporation.com/
A truly great documentary about how evil the corporate system is. The most surprising part was that corporate people have no idea about the impact they do on the lives of third world peoples.
The website is also very good. you can watch educational videos about the system. The huge irony is you can download the movie from "iTunes". iTunes???? Come on!
