This is my favourite Adam Curtis documentary...

The Loving Trap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1bX3F7uTrg

Only 3 mins long.

That was rather good and highlights in 3 minutes the significant problems with his stylish yet incoherent films.

They’re convincing on an emotional level in the way that a speech from a politician or a well crafted advert is - by appealing to secret desires, fears and aspirations rather than persuading with the truth.

It's a parody.
