The Trap: What Happened to Our Dreams of Freedom, BBC
BBC produced and Adam Curtis directed documentarybegins by examining the Cold War theories of foreign relations as selfish and competitive eventually resulting in a "trap" that confines domestic freedoms. The series turns to psychology, economics, cultural stimuli, and philosophy to explain the "paradox" of freedom. In all, The Trap was broken into three programs over three days aired on the BBC. Contributors include John Nash, Isaiah Berlin, R. D. Laing, Robert Rubin, Francis Fukuyama, and Samuel Huntington. An excellent piece, must watch.
