Freedom?

Adam Curtis's recent documentary, "The Trap: What happened to our dream of freedom?" was one of the best pieces of intellectual television that I can remember for a long time. It gave no pause for breath and required your attention for every second, but it was worth every second of your attention.

The arguments put forward are too complex and intricate to detail in a single blog post, but I would urge anyone with an interest in politics, society, history or just the world at large, to watch this programme if and when they can.
