Nordic's two references are fantastic for mainstream folks ... excellent for introducing people to the wider world of the way things work ... without getting into occultism. Also, the Story of Stuff is fantastic, super basic video.
For symbolism, NWO, and general info on occult influences in the world, I'm really liking Mark Passio at What On Earth is Happening. He has a 4 part video series that covers most of the basics and he is a really good teacher and easy to follow and I feel like he really knows his stuff.

For Consciousness and Matrix awakening, I think it is hard to beat Neil Kramer's essays provided your friend reads at a reasonably high level. Here is a good sample from "The Deep Joy of De-Normalizing:
Television is anti-human. Its message is clear: “Do not create for yourself. Manifest only official constructs.”
Voluntary relinquishment of one’s own holographic imaginal palette is an extraordinary disavowal of the divine human ability to create reality. It is a deep necrotic sickness of the soul. Incredibly, many people sense this on a subtle level and yet they still go along with it because they lack the psychic or emotional know how to take matters into their own hands. It’s too hard to resist the pull of sensual engagement. To act from genuine selfhood and sovereignty takes discipline.
It is absurd for any sentient being to believe that they can be informed, educated or entertained by the screens and pages of the construct. Is there anything of value there? Crumbs fall from the table, occasionally – but they’re eclipsed by the constant torrent of normality that pours into the third eye.
