Cheese&Biscuits&Things

Mumbai and Johannesburg, from Social Inequality, As Seen From The Sky by Johnny Miller.

I’ve lost count of the number of democratic decisions across the world in recent years which have totally floored me. I guess this is at least partly because everything I had seen online leading up to them had given me the impression that the vast majority of the population felt the same way i did and would vote accordingly. This is a great documentary (I haven’t linked to the trailer because it’s deceptively bad) which looks expansively at the events of recent decades to trace the origins of the current political and cultural climate. It’s one of those rare film experiences in which it’s possible to emerge full of genuinely interesting information you didn’t possess before :-). (British viewers can watch it free on BBC iplayer for the next year)
