I urge everyone to watch this excellent documentary on the work of Thomas Ferguson. It's a refreshing, often very witty study of really existing politics, not the PR extravaganza of silliness that passes for politics.
Shockley weaves together interview footage with ironic or apt visual quotations from a wide variety of sources. The editing is well done -- and looks like it was a long job!
The music is apt, too; never intrusive. A bit reminiscent of the style of Manufacturing Consent, but that's more a compliment than a criticism.
I would love to see more documentaries by this guy!
