Adam Curtis’ The Trap

Adam Curtis director of the brilliant The Power of Nightmares has a new three part documentary series titled The Trap.

The series consists of three one-hour programmes which explore the concept and definition of freedom, specifically, “how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today’s idea of freedom.”

Blairwatch has a synopsis of the series Parts one and two.

The Guardian’s review.

Metafilter has an interesting discussion about the series and another about The Power of Nightmares.
