THE POWER OF NIGHTMARES Part 1/3
Producer/director  Adam Curtis

"In the past, politicians promised to create a better
world. They had different ways of achieving this, but
their power and authority came from the optimistic
vision they offered their people. Those dreams failed,
and today people have lost faith in ideologies.
Increasingly, politicians are seen simply as managers.
But now they have discovered a new role that restores
their power and authority. Instead of delivering
dreams, politicians now promise to protect us - from
nightmares. They say that they will rescue us from
dreadful dangers that we cannot see and do not
understand. And the greatest danger of all is
international terrorism, the powerful and sinister
network with sleeper cells in countries across the
world; a threat that needs to be fought by a war on
terror.

But much of this threat is a fantasy, which has been
exaggerated and distorted by politicians. It's a dark
illusion that has spread unquestioned through
governments throughout the world, the security
services and the international media.

This is a series of films about how and why that
fantasy was created, and who it benefits. At the heart
of the story are two groups: the American
neo-conservatives, and the radical islamists. Both
were idealists who were born out of the failure of the
liberal dream to build a better world, and both had a
very similar explanation of what caused that failure.
"

This film is a visual essay intellectually putting
forward a political point of view with supporting
evidence. In the media world of searching continually
for a headline catching film often of superficial
content this sort of documentary is really worth
watching and dicussing afterwards.
There are two further parts which can be shown at the
remaining events of the film club before the summer
break.
