"Century of the self" very enlightening. It focuses more on how it shapes us as consumers (and consumers only), but that is an equally powerful abuse as the political one this docu focuses on.

And what's more, challenging these shadow groups is extremely hard to do. But changing our consumer ways only requires awareness.

You could see it in full here: http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/the-century-of-the-self/ and I've often linked to it over years.

But then I check it out and the video has disappeared. It's also hard to find on youtube in any coherent form. Someone makes a youtube vid saying "we're not allowed to show this, check the link". It's a vimeo link and it's been dead since two days...

Scrubbing going on, it looks like.
