#AdamCurtis has an annoying habit of making well-made films which the BBC compounds by letting us watch them for free.

HyperNormalisation explained by Adam Curtis

YouTube

"To many in politics and business, the triumph of the self is the ultimate expression of democracy, where power has finally moved to the people. Certainly, the people may feel they are in charge, but are they really? The Century of the Self tells the untold and sometimes controversial story of the growth of the mass-consumer society. How was the all-consuming self created, by whom, and in whose interests?"
