• The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear (2004, BBC)
  A series of three documentaries about the use of fear for political gain. Where did Osama Bin Laden come from, and why does he hate the American way of life?

In a world that has just witnessed the worst natural disaster in known history, why are our nightmares filled with images of bearded men and dirty bombs? This three-part documentary gives the answers. In a cool, factual manner, it goes back to the historic roots of both sides in this lukewarm war, and shows us how eerily similar they are. That is what is really scary about the war on terrorism.
