Dr.Docs' Take

Episode three of Can't Get You Out of My Head is the money chapter, the story of how those in power in the 1970s replaced big collective dreams with private ones and told everyone to go live inside their own heads. Curtis argues we were quietly sold individualism as freedom. I keep the skepticism handy and keep watching anyway. It is a genuinely provocative account of how the future got cancelled and rebranded.

In this episode of Adam Curtis's series, he examines how those in power in the 1970s set out to build a world free of the dangerous big ideas of the past. The grand dreams of changing society were banished and replaced by money, ushering in an age of individualism. Through his signature archive collage, Curtis traces the emotional and political consequences. Provocative and hypnotic, it is a bold piece of history. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
