My gf has the correct political vibes so to speak, but no theoretical basis or knowledge of history. However, she is interested in watching documentaries on the subject, so which are the ones you found most valuable? Thanks in advance

Ways of Seeing by John Berger is a really good series on the cultural values of aesthetics under capitalism. It’s from the 70s, so a bit dated, but it really shows the collision of art and capitalism shaping culture and ideology.
Plastic Pills and Second Thought have a lot of high quality videos exploring theory concepts when you think that is warranted.
Another thing to consider is what interests they might have that could overlap with theory concepts. This will help find topics that are engaging and the materialism can grapple with that to inform perspective.
