Casually ran into this documentary, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" by Adam Curtis. It's a fascinating deep dive into how history, politics, and culture have shaped the modern world. What makes it so compelling is the style – the entire documentary is made up of archival footage, clips from the eras he explores, and haunting music that gives it a dreamlike, almost hypnotic feel. Curtis weaves together the rise of individualism, the spread of conspiracy theories, and the hidden forces that shape our emotions, creating connections between events you wouldn’t expect. Haven't reached the end but I feel like I have a clear understanding of why the world feels so fragmented today. It’s the kind of documentary that doesn’t just tell you history – it immerses you in it.

I put only the duration of the first episode in the title to avoid scaring people off but the whole thing consists of six episodes totalling 7 hours and 40 minutes.
