This is an absolute gem and an almost forgotten one &#8211;  a documentary version of Alvin Toffler&#8217;s classic 70s book, Future Shock presented by Orson Welles.
The premise of Future Shock was that the pace of human progress had achieved a level which would create a pathological reaction, a metaphorical motion [...]]]></description>

Sometimes truth is no stranger to fiction. America&#8217;s only serious news comes from a comedy channel. 
US network and cable news are an embarrassment, a children&#8217;s view of the world based upon geographical and historical ignorance delivered by people who look like Long Island realtors and whose opinions should be deemed equally suspect.
In print form, [...]]]></description>

Frontline is the only documentary series on American television where the information density doesn&#8217;t leave you feeling you are watching something in slow motion. They don&#8217;t disappoint with this solid but uninspired piece on last October&#8217;s crash. It would be unfair to ask for more, however, so soon after the event, and this is a [...]]]></description>

One of the surprising things about money is that the people who directly manage it are often tedious, but the subject itself is fascinating. In book form, J.K. Galbraith&#8217;s  (no relation), &#8216;Money&#8217; is my favorite, and this documentary comes close to what a film version of that might have looked like.
Obviously, current events [...]]]></description>

It has been 20 years since I read the John Berger book: &#8220;Ways of Seeing&#8221;, which was based on the classic, BAFTA award winning, series of the same name, made in 1972. Until now I hadn&#8217;t seen the original, which is a must see for TV connoisseurs. Here is episode 1.
