After the results of the 2016 general election sank in, I developed a strong curiosity about how societies make the transition from democracy to dictatorship. Though the Roman Empire probably has more to teach us about our current circumstances, the subject of this long documentary is also worth a look. This version of the story is thorough but doesn’t uncover much that isn’t already common knowledge even to casual students of the era. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
