In essence it all started with Freud’s nephew in the us. See this review of ‘The Century Of Self’ and watch the BBC documentary on YouTube. You’ll be amazed: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sacramento-street-ps...

Adam Curtis has made quite a few documentaries that are really worth watching. A few that spring to mind are:

  The Trap
  All watched over by machines of loving grace (Essential viewing for hackernews readers, I think this is his best work)
  Bitter Lake
  HyperNormalisation
They are not without flaws, and sometimes I think some of the connections made between events are a little far fetched.

However they are thought provoking and extremely well made.
