Our Hypernormalised World
from ZTR Radio · host ZTR Radio
It was made by the BBC with a shoestring budget of less than £30K and now has become the documentary of our times. Adam Curtis' beguiling and persuasive Hypernormalisation is a warning of how our social yearning for a more reassuring and simplistic view of the world has helped myopic politicians, dictators and elite money-makers in creating a parallel reality of media and political manipulation where they know we know they are lying to us. It is a State run, a corporative and financially sponsored lie that has served not only as a preamble of our current fake news situation but also of the parade of inept populists who seem to be running the destiny of billions of people. So time to get real and listen to Andre López Turner and Juan Toledo.
