It was like a less frenetic Adam Curtis doco but I felt as though it was mis-titled, only really addressing the supposed subject in the last third and even then not in the depth I hoped for. A lot of rehashed content from other programmes - There can't be many people surely that didn't know the Americans treated the test-site islanders like shit can there?
Again referencing Curtis here but whereas his films have a consistent and entirely appropriate voiceover I find Pilger's mangled vocal comes across like a nasal Alan Whicker and as he gets older it becomes harder and harder to listen to especially over a couple of hours+. I stuck with it but was disappointed overall. |
