I think it speaks so well to the problems that "central planning" present... and centralising power...

The archival footage is amazing, and the way it's all strung together is honestly really inspiring, and a piece of art or whatever you wanna call it.

If you enjoyed it, watch Century of the Self - which is why my username is Edward Bernays - it should be required viewing for EVERY SINGLE American.

His documentary about al Qaeda and the politics of fear - The Power of Nightmares - is also hugely powerful, as is his most recent one about Afghanistan... which is also something all Americans should see. That's called Bitter Lake.

Sure just watch the first 5 mins:
