"The Power of Nightmares" (Documentary, 2004)

This film explores the origins in the 1940s and 50s of Islamic
Fundamentalism in the Middle East, and Neoconservatism in America,
parallels between these movements, and their effect on the world today.

>From the introduction to Part 1:

"Both [the Islamists and Neoconservatives] were idealists who were born
out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world. And both
had a very similar explanation for what caused that failure. These two
groups have changed the world, but not in the way that either intended.
Together, they created today's nightmare vision of a secret, organized
evil that threatens the world. A fantasy that politicians then found
restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. And those with
the darkest fears became the most powerful."

This three-part series consists of the following titles:

1 - "Baby, It's Cold Outside"

2 - "The Phantom Victory"

3 - "The Shadows in the Cave"
