Bitter Lake is a 2015 BBC documentary film by filmmaker Adam Curtis. It argues that Western politicians keep simplifying the stories they tell, into a simple-to-digest by the public "good" vs. "evil" argument, due to society's overwhelming chaos and disorder, which they neither grasp nor understand.

Synopsis

Dans le film, Adam Curtis avance que depuis les années 1970, les gouvernements, la finance et les utopistes technologiques ont abandonné la complexité du "monde réel" et ont construit un simple "monde factice" qui est géré par les entreprises et maintenu stable par les politiciens.

Michael Moore begins by introducing himself and his family through 8 mm archival home movies; he describes himself as the Irish American Catholic middle-class son of a General Motors employee assembling AC spark plugs. Moore chronicles how GM had previously defined his childhood in Flint, Michigan, and how the company was the primary economic and social hub of the town. He points out that Flint is the place where the Flint Sit-Down Strike occurred, resulting in the birth of the United Auto Workers. He reveals that his heroes were the Flint natives who had escaped the oppressive life in GM's factories, including "Flint's most famous native son," game show host Bob Eubanks.

Le journaliste Jean Dominique, militant avec sa femme Michèle Montas pour une information accessible par Radio Haïti-Inter en Haïti, relate différents épisodes de sa lutte. Le récit direct et honnête qu’il fait, à partir de 1986 à son ami Jonathan Demme et le tournage dans le pays, montrent toute la sympathie et la solidarité que réserve le peuple haïtien à ceux qui prennent réellement son parti, en même temps que le caractère périlleux de la promotion de l’information libre dans le pays. Combattant et exilé, celui qui se faisait appeler l’agronome, en fonction de sa formation de base, n’a jamais interrompu sa lutte jusqu’à son assassinat en 2000.

Issu d'un milieu modeste, Ronald Reagan incarne le «rêve américain» : son charisme lui ouvre bien des portes, à commencer par celles d'Hollywood, où il commence sa carrière d'acteur et de syndicaliste, avant de se convertir à l'anticommunisme et de se hisser jusqu'à la Maison-Blanche. En forgeant un conservatisme moderne, qu'il a popularisé auprès des masses, il laisse un héritage politique et idéologique colossal, ainsi qu'une image contradictoire. Pour bien des Américains, leur patrie reste d'ailleurs aujourd'hui le «pays de Reagan»
