trailer:

full movie on iPlayer (UK only):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0 ... itter-lake

inevitable Youtube upload (minus last 20 minutes for some reason):

great doc, even more experimental than his usual efforts, about how we went from supporting the Saudis in return for oil, to ISIS and the recent clusterfuck in Afghanistan - a consequence of short-sightedness and fantasy politics. well worth 2 hours of your life

(the scene where someone attempts to explain conceptual art to a group of Afghan women via the example of Duchamps' Urinal is especially surreal, and kind of sums up the absurdity of the whole Western effort in Afghanistan)

The full version without the last 20 cut off can be found here. I was skeptical at first, but if you can get past the first 15 minutes or so, it's a decent film.

Looks to be available on torrents. As someone whose TV license fee helped pay for its production feel free to download it on me .

Thank you Transient. It is a quiet day today, might just watch it through.

it's pretty trippy. Curtis's usual MO is to talk over a continuous montage of often unrelated footage; in this the voiceovers are like little islands of narrative separated by long sections of pure montage with a spooky music accompaniment
