“Century Of The Self” a BBC Documentary by Adam Curtis
This is an extraordinary series (4 parts, each approximately an hour long). If you ever wanted to know anything about the history of modern, civilized consciousness watch this.
“This series is about how those in power have used Freud’s theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy.” – Adam Curtis
Information about the film on Wikipedia
Part One: “Happiness Machines.”
Part Two: “The Engineering of Consent.”
Part Three: “There is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads: He Must Be Destroyed.”
Part Four: “Eight People Sipping Wine In Kettering.”
Thanks for information.
