If you watch pt1 and pt2 of this series, and take them at face value, you'd arguably be hard pushed to see a huge difference in them either? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqwboEpZe88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyDeT2tD97s

Thanks for the suggestion, I just watched this and it's really worth those two hours. Who is looking for a (relatively) quick glimpse at what a complex mess the situation in the middle east was and is, this would definitely not be the worst choice. And it is kind of beautiful in a strange way I can not really pin down.

Glad you found them useful, i was mildy surprised mainstream media (the bbc) was publishing them.

There's a digest and comments more eloquent than i can muster from the guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/jan/26/bitter-l...

But yes, quite an eye opener and in place beautiful and haunting. If anyone has any similar pieces i'd be interested in them though Curtis himself seems to tackle some quite interesting topics: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis
