The Shock Doctrine Film

[Darkly Brooding]

A brilliant short film from British TVs True Story series, based on Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine.

While it's not based directly on her book, it's still a great watch with many snippets of the ever eloquent Ms.Klein, and a good overview of how Milton Freidman and the Chicago School economics(deregulation and privatization) have changed our world, and not for the better,...
From the South American experiments of the early 70s, through England in the 80s, Russia in the 90s, 9/11, the Middle East invasion, and ending in where we are today, this film is a great ride.

Note: It appears part 1 has been yanked, but parts 2-8 are still playable and a must watch.
If anyone has a link to the full doc, please add to the post.
