I saw a lot of them, but below seems not only eye-opening but also educational to increase awareness on several areas of life.
1. An Inconvenient Truth - About global warming
2. Seaspiracy - Impact to oceans and climate due to (over)fishing
3. Blackfish - following the controversial captivity of killer whales(orcas), and its dangers for both humans and whales.
4. Sicko - investigating healthcare and insurance on USA
5. The social dilemma - Impact on humans by using online social networks

Management can hire 2 fresh grads, roughly same cost as 1 senior candidate. There are companies where headcount is important for managers to become and grow their org. In addition, fresh grads usually have exposure to latest stuff and are eager to make their way in, work 60+ hrs, have fresh perspective, can crack academic style company interviews. Overall good for the company for less money.
The counter to this is those fresh ideas are built on their limited knowledge of some buzzwords connected to a framework in python which is only in alpha quality. The number of kids who think new is better because they used it on their final year team project so must apply it to production servers is scary. It needs older, experienced workers to say the magic word: No.
Two fresh grads working 60 hours a week are about as productive as one fresh grad working 40 hours a week. That may be good for someone, but not the company.
