Enron - Smartest guys in the room - A film about the Enron accounting scandal which reveals the psychology of greed and corporate corruption that facilitated the company's rise to power and also its fall. |

Boiler Room - An update of Wall Street, this film follows a young man who wants to make enough money to impress his dad. There is a wonderful scene (suitable for younger audiences despite the film's certificate) where the whole scam is demonstrated, as Vin Diesel cons a doctor into buying 2000 shares. Lots of swearing, but a clear moral message. |

Lord of War - The DVD starts with a powerful shopping-channel spoof from Amnesty. The film itself has amazing opening credits, and follows the fortunes of an arms salesman. |

| What would Jesus buy - A Morgan Spurluk documentary that focuses on the issues of the commercialization of Christmas, materialism, the over-consumption in American culture, globalization, and the business practices of large corporations. "Reverend Billy," and his troupe of activists perform in a church choir called "The Church of Stop Shopping," that sings anti-shopping and anti-corporate songs. | |

Mc Libel - Helen Steel and Dave Morris were just two ordinary people handing out leaflets about McDonalds that claimed the food was bad for you and they treated their workers badly. They were sued, and the case became the longest one in English legal history, costing McDonalds over £10 million. This tells their heroic story - an amazing documentary that should inspire all of us. |
