Adam Curtis, The Century of the Self, BBC, 2002.
Although Curtis never mentions Charles Reich or The Greening of America this series occasionally provides vivid portraits of Charles Reich's ideas of Consciousness II and Consciousness III. Curtis's documentary is largely based on the work of Stuart Ewen, especially PR! A Social History of Spin (1996). Part Three of the series ("There is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads, He Must Be Destroyed") shows how the Corporate State was able to coopt Consciousness III, contrary to Reich's expectations. Consider the contrast between the VALS Types and Reich's Consciousness I, II, III framework. Which framework has been more effective in understanding (U.S.) American society and why?
Two articles (or one article and another extensively quoting and pointing to the first article) that consider some ideas related to Adam Curtis's The Century of the Self but from a non-Freudian side of psychology:

See also Adam Curtis's film The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom (2007) which can be viewed as describing the evolution of the Corporate State from the Cold War onwards. An important topic in Reich's book is his analysis of the Corporate State and Consciousness II which serves it; it was the 1960s rebellion against these which Reich views as the source of Consciousness III.

At the end of The Greening of America are a few pages of "Acknowledgements" in which Reich writes: "This book owes so much to so many written sources that it is only meaningful to mention a few of the most important. They are: " [with links to currently in-print editions as of February 2013, when available] Karl Marx, The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844 [included in Early Writings, Penguin Classics]; Herbert Marcuse, Eros and Civilization (1955), One-Dimensional Man (1964), An Essay on Liberation (1969); Karl Polanyi, The Great Transformation (1944; 1957; 2001); Jacques Ellul, The Technological Society (1964); Kenneth Keniston, The Uncommitted (1965) and Young Radicals (1968); John Kenneth Galbraith, The New Industrial State (1967) [also included in the Library of America edition of his collected works]; E.
