Stage falling apart at Great American State Fair

(0:34) This was taken today at a rehearsal for the July 4th performance at the Salute Stage on the Mall. Those dancers are incredibly lucky to not have mortal injuries. EDIT: This is not actually at the Great American State Fair, but at a rehearsal for a separate event also on the Mall (Salute to America 250, which will be on July 4th).

How has Curtis changed your outlook?

For me, his work was really depressing, and it kind of still can be. However, with the recent developments in US politics, I’m wondering if there should be cautious optimism
So many of the attempts at change that he shows in his documentaries comes from violence. However, in each case the violence fails. Maybe revolution doesn’t come from a gun anymore?
Just some of my thoughts, want to hear what others think

Is there a bit of narration that talks about how politicians gave their power to corporations and are now unable to enact any sort of meaningful change?

Seeing Starmer resigning is triggering something in my brain: an Adam Curtis voice mentioning something about a revolving door of politicians being unable to do anything because they gave up all their power for money.
