BBC documentary the power of nightmares (Al-Qaeda, Geopolitics, Rated 9/10 on IMDb)

Probably the best ever documentary ever made on Al-Qaeda. I was at University, over 10 years ago, when I first watch this Doc. It is a much watch for anyone interested in geopolitics and Terrorism.

"The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear" consists of three one-hour films, consisting mostly of a montage of archive footage with Curtis's narration.

The films compare the rise of the American Neo-Conservative movement and the radical Islamist movement, making comparisons on their origins and suggesting a strong connection between the two. More controversially, it argues that the threat of radical Islamism as a massive, sinister organised force of destruction, specifically in the form of al-Qaeda, is in fact a myth perpetrated by politicians in many countries and particularly American Neo-Conservatives in an attempt to unite and inspire their people following the failure of earlier, more utopian ideologies.
