The Power of Nightmares By Adam Curtis

The Power of Nightmares, subtitled The Rise of the Politics of Fear, is a BBC series of documentary films, written and produced by Adam Curtis. This documentary argues that a group of neoconservatives benefited from exaggerating the scale of the terrorist threat from which they offer to protect their people, as they have tried to benefit by exaggerating the threat of communism in the 1970s and 80s; that the fortunes of neoconservatism and radical Islamism are closely connected; and that some popular beliefs about these groups are inaccurate.
