WIP Documentary List

This is my current WIP (work in progress) Documentary list for design & advertising. I imagine you have seen some of these - Helvetica probably being the most well-known "graphic design" documentary.

If I had my way, we would watch all of these during the duration of the class but unfortunately time doesn't allow for it. We will watch a small range of them - as for the rest, check them out when you can. They are all beneficial and inspiring in some way.
