Future Shock (1972) 5 of 5
This is a little known documentary based on the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler. See review here: http://oddculture.com/weird-movies/movie-review-future-shock/
This movie came out in 1972 and features Orson Welles as the narrator. Note the high amount of paranoia in regards to the future... some of the segments (like people choosing their own skin color) are highlights. Worth a look - at the very least for its historical value.
