This is an extraordinary documentary by Adam Curtis. The series comes in 4 parts and tells the tale of how Freud's ideas have been 're-purposed' by his American nephew, Edward Bernays.The documentary describes the impact of Freud's theories on the perception of the human mind, and the ways public relations agencies and politicians have used this during the last 100 years for their "engineering of consent".
