Thread: Adam Curtis: Bitter Lake

    Adam Curtis: Bitter Lake

    Just watched this - fascinating documentary with lots of interesting ideas - although it could easily lose an hour, lots of random footage thrown in that does not really add anything to the narrative.

    Bizarrely, it is only available on the BBC i player, the beeb do not seem to want to screen on telly, but are happy to host it on line and on demand. Strange. Thoroughly recommend although I would not suggest taking all of it as gospel.

    It looks at how international (mainly USA) policies towards Afghanistan have had unintended consequences.

    Was a very intereting watch overall though.

    It's very good but agree that a lot of the extra footage was not needed and even a little distracting. There's a bit where a soldier plays with a bird that's at least a minute long. Nice home vid but...

    Yeah it was my thread. And yes it still hurts
    Its not that there were any parts i disagreed with, just that he does not make much effort to back things up with evidence. I suspect most of it is pretty accurate but i dont take anything at face value, no matter which angle they are coming from.

    Very keen to watch this. I like his stuff generally, even the long, seemingly pointless shots

    Started watching this last night ,very interesting program. Some of the shots are a bit vague to the say the least but found it very enjoyable. Thanks for the heads up.
