Adam Curtis Documentaries
Adam Curtis's 2016 BBC documentary arguing that politicians, financiers and technologists retreated into a simplified, fake version of the world because reality became too complex. It ranges across Trump, Brexit, Syria, Surkov's Russia and more.
HN points to it for its account of propaganda that sows distrust and confusion, and as a starting point for Adam Curtis's work.
