Cult documentary filmmaker, Adam Curtis explores the click-baity falsity of modern life with his own inimitable flair, using the BBC’s vast film archive as his palette.
This piece charts the origins of the conflicts in Syria, the rise and fall of Muammar Gaddafi and other infamous episodes in Western interventionalism in the Middle East.
Curtis shows how an army of technocrats, complacent radicals and Faustian Internet entrepreneurs have inadvertently conspired to perpetuate a fake world of fake news and fake politics.
