>Ways of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb. Berger's scripts were adapted into a book of the same name. The series and book criticize traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images. The series is partially a response to Kenneth Clark's Civilisation series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon.
CW: Around the 20 minute mark, footage of an execution is briefly shown.

>Human Zoos tells the shocking story of how thousands of indigenous peoples were put on public display in America in the early decades of the twentieth century.
>For more about the movie, additional information and clips be sure to visit the film's website at https://humanzoos.org/ > >Often touted as "missing links" between man and apes, these native peoples were harassed and demeaned. Their public display was arranged with the enthusiastic support of the most elite members of the scientific community, and it was promoted uncritically by American's leading newspapers. This award-winning documentary explores the heartbreaking story of what happened, shows how African-American ministers and other people of faith tried to push back, and reveals how some people today are still drawing on Social Darwinism in order to dehumanize others. The film also explores the tragic story of eugenics in America, the effort to breed human beings based on Darwinian principles.

- 2040: a documentary that explores what the future could look like if we simply embraced the best solutions already available to us to improve our planet and shifted them rapidly into the mainstream
Unfortunately, this is a Free with ads Youtube Movie. What that means is that there isn't really a way to watch this with an adblocker on mobilem, and it will prompt you to open the youtube mobile app to watch it. However, adblockers do work on desktop browsers, so I'd recommend watching it there.
The documentary, while treading slightly techno-optimistic in a couple areas, overall does a pretty great job of presenting a solarpunk-ish future, with some suggestions for worthwhile solutions that could be implemented quickly. Overall, I think it's worth a watch.

Our present moment is saturated in dystopian, apocalyptic fantasies of the future.
Fortunately, visions of a more beautiful, compassionate, regenerative future already exist. But since they're not being broadcast daily on the evening news, we've got to dedicate a little more energy to broadcasting them ourselves.
This is what this list of films is for. These films decided that the apocalypse is canceled. Climate change is canceled. Biodiversity loss is canceled. A comeback of this scale has never been attempted before, but that's why it's going to work. Ya dig? The people in these films aren't listening to the folks that say it's too late. They're imagining the future they want, not the future they're afraid of, and they're bringing that future into being.
