It delves into the underlying causes of political conflicts and sheds light on the events that have led to some of the most shocking outcomes in recent history. While the lengthy runtime may seem daunting, the film’s in-depth analysis makes it an essential watch for anyone looking to understand the forces shaping today’s world.

Beginning in 1975 with contrasting scenes of Damascus and New York, Adam Curtis examines two distinct approaches to global governance. The documentary traces how, in the mid-1970s, banks were heavily financing political agendas, only for that flow of money to abruptly cease. Spanning continents, Curtis connects the intricate relationship between finance and politics, from Russia, Syria, Lebanon, and Libya to Iran and the U.S., culminating in the pivotal events of the Arab Spring. The film offers a sweeping look at the forces that have shaped the modern political landscape.
