The Trap is a series of three films by Bafta-winning producer Adam Curtis [The Century of the Self and The Power of Nightmares]that explains the origins of our contemporary, narrow idea of freedom. It shows how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom. This model was derived from ideas and techniques developed by nuclear strategists during the Cold War to control the behaviour of the Soviet enemy.

Tried to watch but the first part is a little depressing. Doesn't bode well for state of human interaction.
