BITTER LAKE picks up the baton, distilling hundreds of hours of archival TV footage into a revelatory study of the relationship between Afghanistan and the West. Punctuated by a number of shocking scenes, the result might feel like a queasy dream if the narrative it suggests weren’t so truly disturbing. Curtis speaks to his own conviction that “those in power tell stories to help us make sense of the complexity of reality, but those stories are increasingly unconvincing and hollow.
Director – Adam Curtis
