'The Power of Nightmares'
This is supposed to be great. If you have BitTorrent, you can watch it here.
Acclaimed BBC2 documentary series The Power of Nightmares is heading for a big screen release in the US.
Adam Curtis's award-winning documentary examined the history behind the September 11 terrorist attacks and argued that the al-Qaida threat had been exaggerated by Tony Blair and George Bush for political ends.
The three-part series has never been seen in the US after it was rejected by American broadcasters, but is being lined up for a cinema release by Sony Pictures Classics.
"They want to show it as a feature film in the US," said Curtis, who is still in negotiations with the American film giant. "It would require me to cut it down but I am prepared to do that.
"I would like to get it on television, because it is a more powerful and direct medium than cinema, but there is a real reluctance to show it. Americans don't know anything about the history of Islamism."
