What R U Watching? - The Way Left

Films, documentaries, and media fueling the movement.

These are a few of my viewing recommendations. Some movies, some TV shows and some documentaries. There are so many more I could list out but had to start somewhere. Watch…for fun and for knowledge…and for going to sleep on the couch. Enjoy!
