Adam Curtis - The Century of the Self

"This series is about how those in power have used Freud's theories to try and control the dangerous crowd in an age of mass democracy." - Adam Curtis

Along these general themes, The Century of the Self asks deeper questions about the roots and methods of modern consumerism, representative democracy and its implications. It also questions the modern way we see ourselves, the attitude to fashion and superficiality.

Is this the average-quality VHS cap that has been on UKNova for years, or something better?

Well, if the file size is any indication, it's exactly the same torrent that has been around forever.

I would imagine that a new torrent of better quality would not have the exact same size.

I'm skipping.

If anyone knows where to find a better quality copy of this, please let us know!

That's not to say that this isn't worth watching. The content is second-to-none. It's just not up to today's technical standards. It's surprising that there are no other versions available.

I agree with TooleMan:

this is an absolutely MUST WATCH documentary series.

Will blow your mind.

What the hell is up with the seeding to this torrent!!!

One minute its dling at 100k the next is .5k

Please seed...

The seeding is a pain, alright! But I discovered the file sizes are different from my copies (smaller) so I'm going to have a look at one of them... assuming the downloading ever completes.
