The Power of Nightmares

If there's one documentary that you must watch, it's BBC 2's The Power of Nightmares.

I feel so strongly about it, that after watching it this week, I don't feel ready to write about it just yet. It's that good. It's that important.

If you care about what’s happening in the world today, the so-called “war” against terror, the growing threat to the world from an increasingly belligerent and aggressive American military-industrial complex, you must watch this three-part documentary.

At some point, I will write a longer blog post about it. For now, I’m only going to recommend that you watch it. And watch your understanding of the forces dominating and manipulating world politics expand exponentially in the span of the 2 hours and 45 minutes it takes to watch this brilliantly researched, scripted, and assembled audiovisual non-fiction treatise.

You can click on the Google viewer above to see a short low-res excerpt. I think the whole docu is available on Google and other video hosting sites but I would recommend that you download the whole via bittorrent and watch it at one go.

Get the Mininova torrent of the whole documentary here.
