Only for those in UK, if you missed the 1st part (like me) don't miss the 2nd and the 3rd part of this TV programme "The Power of Nightmares".

 

The Second part: Tonight at 9:00 pm on BBC2

 

Further details:

 

The Power of Nightmares: The Phantom Victory (Part 2 of 3)

Second of three documentaries about the use of fear for political gain. This edition

looks at two groups, the American Neoconservatives and the Radical Islamists, who

came together to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Subsequently, the Neocons

focussed their ire on Clinton while the Islamicists continued a cycle of violence to

try to win support. The machinations of these two groups has led to the climate of

fear we live in today.

 

Time: 21:00 to 22:00 (1 hour long).

When: Wednesday 27th October on BBC 2

 

 

Third part:

 

The Power of Nightmares: Shadows in the Cave (Part 3 of 3)

Last of three documentaries about the use of fear for political gain. This edition

looks at how the neoconservatives reconstructed the Islamists as a sinister

worldwide terrorist force run by bin Laden in his lair in Afghanistan. The film

makes it clear that while dangerous groups inspired by extreme Islamist ideas do

exist, the nightmare vision of a uniquely powerful hidden organisation waiting to

strike our societies is an illusion.

 

Time: 21:00 to 22:00 (1 hour long).

When: Wednesday 3rd November on BBC 2
