The Power of Nightmares - The Rise of the Politics of Fear
This is a BBC documentary on the rise of Neo-Conservatism in the United States and Radical Islam in the Middle East. Adam Curtis, the film’s writer and producer, focuses on these two movements as separate and similar entities—separate because they both are of two religions, and yet similar because they also use religion to justify acts of war.
