Power of Nightmares - BBC documentary
Power of Nightmares is a fantastic documentary investigating the climate of fear. I remember seeing it when it was originally screened (a couple of years ago, IIRC). It’s a three parter - an hour each. Some bright spark has uploaded to Google Video. I’m not condoning the breaching of copyright, which this is a clear case. However, as I’m a UK TV licence payer, I, along with every payer, contributed to this, and I think it ought to be seen by everyone.
Check them out whilst they’re still online.
- Part 1 - Baby It’s Cold Outside
- Part 2 - The Phantom Victory
- Part 3 - The Shadows In The Cave
Part 1, perhaps the most important, as it sets out a lot of the foundations for the thesis, is not the most exciting. Parts 2 and 3 were fascinating.

This is indeed a good flick to watch. If you like the content of Power of Nightmares, there are some others probably worth watching.
