Adam Curtis:
The Power of
Nightmares
The films compare the rise of the Neo-Conservative movement in the
United States and the radical Islamist movement, making comparisons on
their origins and claiming similarities between the two.
"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 visions they offered to their people. Those dreams
failed. And today, people have lost faith in ideologies. Increasingly,
politicians are seen simply as managers of public life. 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. " - Adam Curtis
