Movies that take on globalization?


Name some others, Babel I think is most well known. The World by Zhang Ke Jia is the best Ive seen so far, obviously there are documentaries, I think Manufactured Landscapes may fit into this category. Also some of the films by Oliver Assayas.

I've seen the first 4. Syrian and the the Constant Gardener as well. I'll check out the others, "Battle in Seattle" guessing that's about the protests...

Koyaanisqatsi is mentioned as a documentary on imdb.
If that is ok, then I recommend Home 2009:

Time Out (2001) deals with one aspect of globalization: the activities of NGOs. Though it is not the main theme.
