For me it's gotta be something from ARTE (the French/German culture television channel). Either it's the one about Chodorowskis weird Dune project or the three-part series about the history of racism. Both were extremely well-made documentaries.

Not "Pirates of Silicon Valley" but an actual documentary that compares the film to reality and has interviews from a lot of the key players like Jobs, Wozniak, Gates and others. I would love to see it again, actually, but I do not for the life of me remember its title other than containing the reference to "Pirates of Silicon Valley." The Real Pirates of Silicon Valley, maybe? It was something shown on a slow day in one of my high school classes and I think originated from A&E.
