The Merchants of Cool

PBS Frontline documentary from a few years back called the ‘Merchants of Cool’.

Documentary follows the marketing-consumer industry complex that has developed. Highly recommended for everyone; particularly anyone interested in advertising, marketing, consumerism, branding, etc.

One of the most thought-provoking shows i have ever seen. it really calls into question how much of our thoughts and feelings are actually ours vs. sold to us.
