Wonderful piece by documentary maker Adam Curtis, displaying his trademark ability to explore seemingly mundane alleyways,tease out resonant connections, and reveal the very stuff of History and Social Control.
He mentions his "League of Gentlemen" documentary in the near perfect "Pandora's Box" series. The film is a rare thing: both a fantastic piece of avant garde story telling and a highly important historical document.

The last words of the last Inka, Tupac Amaru, led to the gallows by men of god & dogs of war
