It tries to explain why the world is ****ed in 2hrs 45 mins.

I'm sure it won't surprise anyone that there's plenty of Middle-East action in there.

Nice bit of Suicide in the soundtrack as well.

Looking forward to Curtis' didacticism, with that combo of disorienting fast-moving imagery and soothing, seductive voiceover. One of the best and most original filmmakers out there, especially in terms of 'documentaries'.

Started watching this last night, also caught his interview with Jarvis Cocker on 6Music, Sunday.

Should be interesting viewing.
