Did you know that Sigmund Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays,invented PR? And he did it using his uncle’s famed theories on the subconscious? I didn’t before I watched this doc. But it all makes perfect sense. lol.

The Century of the Self
Jake Foster
“This documentary single-handedly and fundamentally changed the way I relate to myself as an individual in an age of consumerism and manufactured consent. In brief, this not-so-brief journalistic video essay explains the contours of the festering heart that beats in the bowels of capitalism in a linear and easy to follow manner.”

““A deep examination about the rise of psychoanalysis as a powerful means of persuasion for both governments and corporations, and how it later helped influence the contemporary society of lifestyles and marketing.” Prepare to be gutted by the brilliance of Adam Curtis and his mastery of archival footage.
