While it should be obvious that this documentary is a anarchist framing on the subject of propaganda, it is a good presentation of the problems caused by our modern marketing and modern propaganda.  All video does such framing, even documentaries that critique framing!
We are being played by the Media. Who controls the Media? It is not you or me, it is the elite. If you limit your viewing to the mainstream, you will be programed. I think it is the commercials more than the content that is a problem. 
Do you need that latest gadget that the ad is promoting? Constant repetition of ads leads to the desire to own the product as the product seems to have moved from a luxury to a necessity. Of course I am not including the latest iThing in my critique! 
There is much that one could criticize in this video. For example, the idea that success is exploitive seems a hackneyed syndicalist anarchist view. My posting of a video or a link should not lead anyone to conclude that I support everything that a link or embeded video might say. The whole point of me posting these kinds of things is my personal desire to read and watch a wide variety of viewpoints. I hope you will share this desire.
