documentary
Elegant five hour doc produced by the BBC tracing the known history of mankind's most monstrous behavior. They use re-enactments, historical footage, modelling, locations and interviews to make the story as real and accurate as possible. The narration is by Linda Hunt.
Most of my life I've been drawn to the story of Germany's collective madness...staring into the heart of evil to try and grasp its essence. This sorry episode in human history resulted from carrying an ism to its logical conclusion. Is there anyone out there who thinks something like this won't happen again...somewhere? Some nuclear apocalypse perhaps? Classic Greek tragedy held that man carries within him the seeds of his own destruction.
It'll be interesting to see if humanity survives...and, if it does, in what form... Stay tuned.
