Corridors of Power: Should America Police the World?

Utterly spellbinding and tragic. What an excellent series of historical lessons. Gut wrenching insight into some of the most appalling acts of human savagery that have occurred over the past few decades. Insight from a US-only perspective doesn't taint this documentary series, instead it gives clarity into why decisions were made, even though they may now (and then) be considered wrong.

In today's inward looking, dictator led, foreigner hating, nationalistic fuelled world, this series illuminates more "how did it come to this" on a macro scale. The horrors being suffered by too many people, leading to displacement at best, or death at worst, clearly illustrates why so many refugees are seeking salvation and hope, driven to dangerous and difficult bids for freedom.

What an appalling species we can be. Or perhaps more accurately, there are some truly terrible men who have no consideration for many of their fellow human beings.
