Pandora's Box (TV Miniseries)

"Pandora's Box", subtitled "A Fable From the Age of Science", is a 6 episodes BBC television documentary series by Adam Curtis looking at the consequences of political and technocratic rationalism. Curtis deals with, in order: Communism in the Soviet Union, systems analysis and game theory during the Cold War, economy of the United Kingdom during the 1970s, the insecticide DDT, Kwame Nkrumah's leadership in Ghana in the 1950s, and the history of nuclear power. The documentary makes extensive use of clips from the short film "Design for Dreaming" (1956), especially in the title sequence. Curtis's later series "The Century of the Self" and "The Trap" have similar themes to Pandora's Box (Courtesy of Wikipedia.org).
