DESCRIPTION:SF Indie Fest presents this uncut, BBC series of documentary films about 
 how fear has come to dominate politics not only in America, but throughout 
 the world, and how much of that fear is based on illusion. The films tell 
 the story of the rise of today’s nightmare vision of a hidden, organized 
 network of terror and show clearly how much of that threat has been 
 distorted and exaggerated by politicians. In an age disillusioned with 
 optimistic political visions of the future, politicians have stumbled on a 
 new force that can restore their power and authority, the fear of a hidden 
 and organized web of evil which they can protect their people from. These 
 films show how that fantasy was created, and why, by telling an epic story 
 that starts in America in 1949 and ends in the present day. At the heart of 
 the story are two groups, the American Neoconservatives and the Radical 
 Islamists. Both these groups were idealists born out of the failure of the 
 post-war liberal optimism, and both had very similar explanations for why 
 that failure had occurred. Both groups did change the world, but not in the 
 way either intended. Their actions over the last thirty years have led to 
 today’s strange fantasy of fear which has spread through all levels of 
 government, the security services and the international media. A fantasy 
 that no-one questions because those with the darkest nightmares have become 
 the most powerful. England. 2004. Runningtime: 180 minutes.
