 \n"It is now possible for us to regiment the public mind, much as an army 
 regiments the bodies of its soldiers." \n \n-Edward Bernays\n \nThis 
 stellar, award-winning BBC documentary, never distributed in the United 
 States, chronicles the development of the PR industry: the development of 
 psychological techniques of control and manipulation for political and 
 corporate ends. This episode, the first in the series, traces the creation 
 of PR by the Nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Bernays, who appropriated the 
 insights of psychoanalysis for political and corporate propaganda to 
 "control the unruly masses". A spell-binding, eye-opening and frightening 
 look at the mechanisms and technologies of modern social control, this film 
 is a must-see for activists, therapists, educators, anyone who is involved 
 in political or social change and has been frustrated by a lack of it. 
 \nThere will be a faciliated discussion on the work of Edward Bernays and 
 the techniques of political messaging afterwards.\n
