Bitter Lake


This blog is titled house of Trivia, and although most of the subjects fall into this category, here is one film where the subject matter doesn't. This documentary, by Adam Curtis, uses a variety of footage, including war footage and even stock footage from a Russian science fiction film, to tell the story of the politics surrounding Saudi Arabia and the way that we must find a new way to address the changing world. A lot of the imagery is very harrowing and Curtis makes some very interesting points. It is a very good documentary. It's only on iplayer for a brief time so make sure that you see it while it's still there.
