Formidable documentary series about the period of the Cold War that started almost immediately after WWII and that held the world in its grip until the collapse of communism in 1991.
The series tells the full story, with very relevant digressions and punchy details. The images are unique and beautifully colored so that it all seems much more recent than it already is. The documentary makers were criticized because of the 'Eurocentric narrative', while this just feels very refreshing. Whoever takes the lectures at Western universities, especially in the humanities, would almost forget that communism is the most murderous ideology of all time. This documentary doesn't shy away from that fact, explaining in great detail how children had to talk to their own parents on the gallows, how hundreds of thousands of North Vietnamese fled south and begged for American help, how the economy collapsed everywhere collectivizations took place. , from Indochina to China to the Soviet Union and how the communists eventually had to build a wall to prevent everyone from fleeing the workers' paradise. The documentary also points to a stinking open wound: the collaboration of the left-wing so-called 'peace movement', which with its anti-missile rhetoric promoted a narrative imposed and financed by the SU with the aim of weakening and ultimately destroying the Western bloc. Hollywood was also a communist stronghold, then and still is today. Khrushchev was admired in between the killings. Sickly and something never to be forgotten or forgiven. McCarthy was just right.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in this subject and open to the real history of the Cold War and the horror of communism.
