Can’t Get You Out of My Head was crafted from a massive archive of music and video footage. It begins with the cultural revolutions of the 1960s and continues through Donald Trump’s fraught presidency and Britain’s Brexit crisis. In addition to the fast-paced visuals, Curtis provides a personal, emotional element by incorporating the stories of an eclectic range of people, from a 1970s Civil Rights leader to the wife of Mao Zedong.

Curtis decries the connections necessary to concoct conspiracy theories while simultaneously constructing them himself. Likewise, his series shows the ever-changing nature of politics juxtaposed with its lasting effect on history. Can’t Get You Out of My Head traces the roots of such events and proposes what can be expected in the future.

Floyd, a 46-year-old father from Texas, had moved to Minneapolis in 2014 for a better life and was working as a security guard before his death. A medical examiner ruled his death as a homicide, stating that his heart had stopped due to compression to his neck during the police restrainment. Officer Chauvin, who has been charged with second-degree murder and is being held at a state prison, faces up to forty years behind bars if convicted.

Narrated by Idris Elba, this Sky documentary features contributions from American civil rights campaigner Rev. Jesse Jackson, Malcolm X’s daughter Ilyasah Shabazz, playwright and novelist Bonnie Greer, and Black Lives Matter activist Zellie Imani.

Directed by Andrew Rossi, the documentary interviews both victims and purveyors of fake news, as well as journalists and experts who help contextualise its impact. It demonstrates that although false stories are not a new phenomenon, the high usage of modern technology allows for them to be widely disseminated online and creates a breeding ground for misunderstanding. The film deconstructs the fake news process by explaining how it exploits distrust and fear to aid its proliferation, and looks at several past events that can be traced back to disinformation and untruthful claims posted on social media.

The Social Dilemma delves into the ability of social media to spread rumors, false information, social and political manipulations, and bullying content like wildfire. It also explains how devastating this effect has been on the youth as they have become addicted to the opinions and views of others on these platforms to the detriment of their mental health.

This documentary ultimately exposes the increase in teen depression and suicide rate and its connection with the dangers of addiction to the various available social platforms.

The Appalachians, a region known for its mining and mountains, has frequently seen its community members use food stamps to carry out their necessary shopping. Unfortunately, many impoverished Americans end up losing their homes alongside their incomes. In such cases, some individuals must resort to using cars for shelter. In the famous Los Angeles, California, relief organizations have sprung up to aid the city’s homeless by providing them with wooden huts.

The community came into prominence after Elliot Rodger, the son of a British filmmaker, went on a killing spree at the University of California in 2014, murdering six fellow students before ending his own life. He explained in a chilling video that his motivation was to punish women for his perceived sexual and social rejections. Disturbingly, some members of the incel community idolise Rodger, and his actions have inspired three other mass killings directed at women in North America.

The documentary lifts the lid on this notoriously closed community by speaking to three self-identifying incels and examining how a toxic online ideology can cause young men to lash out violently. It also looks at other underlying issues that affect some of these men, including mental health issues and childhood trauma.

The film dives into the relationship Skeel had with his girlfriend Jordan Worth through interviews with Skeel and his family and friends. It paints a picture of an average man who for years endured a form of unthinkable, raw violence, both physical and mental, that is infrequently told from a male victim point of view. It demonstrates how Skeel’s livelihood was slowly slipping away and how even family and friends had no idea what was happening.

The documentary portrays a teenage romance that slowly warped into something else entirely, using police testimony to showcase Skeel’s suffering from one of the most severe domestic violence cases the police department had ever seen.

Visitors of these exhibits often ridiculed the indigenous people on display, and organisers labelled them as the ‘missing link’ that connected apes and humans. Some of the most respected scientists of the early twentieth century organised and supported these public displays, and leading newspapers of that time often promoted the events.

The documentary shares the tragic life story of Ota Benga, the Congo Pygmy man who was purchased by a missionary and put on display in America. Newspapers with African-American authors strongly opposed his mistreatment. This film also discusses how some people use Social Darwinism as a means of degrading other humans.

This BBC documentary series recounts the miscarriage of justice that occurred in the handling of the Lawrence case and its coverage in the news media. It also focuses on Stephen’s mother Doreen, who has fought for justice for her son for over a quarter of a century. Her efforts garnered the attention of celebrities, politicians, and newspapers around the UK, and indeed the world. Highly emotional, provocative, and enlightening, the documentary includes never-before-aired footage and information about this nation-changing murder case.

The young women of the region suffered silently for generations prior without access to feminine hygiene products or an appropriate outlet to voice their concerns. In many cases, this led to them missing school and various aspects of their life. When the biodegradable and affordable sanitary pads arrived in their village, a sense of empowerment washed through the female community.
