在美国,警察被赋予了控制人们个人生活的非凡权力。警察决定谁是可疑的,谁“符合描述”。他们定义威胁,并决定如何应对。他们要求人们服从,并附带不断的暴力威胁。真实的和可感知的犯罪行为以及对社会秩序的威胁均由警方制定,成千上万这样的互动每天在大城小镇中上演。警察使国家的抽象权力变得具体。 《权力背后》追溯了金钱的积累,政治权力的巩固,以及几乎不受限制的两党支持,正是这些支持创建了我们所知的警察制度。从 18 世纪的奴隶巡逻,到 19 世纪第一个公共资助的警察部门,再到 20 世纪 60 年代和 20 世纪 20 年代的起义,这部电影提供了一段直击内心的沉浸式旅程,展示了历史的演进历程。 部分文章,部分采访,部分档案拼贴,《权力背后》用历史材料来阐述我们当下的现实,并探讨与不断增长而且在很大程度上未受到限制的权威有关的紧迫问题:谁被监管,谁被保护,谁来决定,...

Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous. When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around. From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
