Adam Curtis returns in 2025 with another mind blowing documentary series called ‘Shifty’.
From what I understand, ‘Shifty’ focuses on the erosion of Truth and belief in authoritaries in our society and media courtesy of Silvio Berlusconi, Boris Johnson and Donald Trump who reeked havoc with lies and propoganda, leaving people with nothing left to believe in except a vacuum where mistrust breeds conspiracy, and ultimately control.
You can read a new Adam Curtis interview about the themes of his new series here:
Personally, I think we are witnessing the slow painful death of the Fourth Estate in a world where checks and balances are removed and truth is now subjective and malleable, digital media misinformation is rife and facts are manufactured. George Orwell predicted the disinformation age we are now entering.
Shifty is available to watch on the BBC iPlayer now.
