This show was aired on the BBC some time ago in the UK.

It prompted some comments on the BBC website at the time of the kind "This makes my TV License fee for the last twenty years worthwhile"

It has never been played again, and the BBC do not make it available for purchase. Luckily some people made copies and they have done the rounds on the torrents for some time.

They are powerful peices of work and useful to show people who need a gentle nudge just how fear has been used to trick people into consenting to tyranny.

One of the first docu's I saw that got me into so calle d'alternative' methods of thinking about the way our world works. Spread it widely.

Adam Curtis is one of the less paranoid/ hysterical alternative documentarians out there. Also recommended:

The Living Dead (Dr. Donald Ewen-Cameron's cold war brain experiments)
The Trap (Awesome Expose on psychology and Game Theory)
The Century of the Self (Edward Bernays, Frued, propoganda)

He has a penchant for editing together fascinating and often hilarious archived clips in a clever way. Enjoy!
