TV ON MY SIDE

The lost world of communism was on tonight,

'Documentary series on the fall of the Iron Curtain and its legacy. 1989 marked the collapse of communism in Eastern and Central Europe and an end to a way of life for millions of people. Having lived through extraordinary times, they tell their stories of life behind the Iron Curtain, looking beyond the headlines of spies and surveillance, secret police and political repression, to reveal a rich tapestry of experience.
Firstly, a look at the 'socialist paradise' of communist East Germany.'

Although the focus was on East Germany, there was a lot of relevance to my research. There were stories told by people who had been victims of Stalin, there was some horrific realities and it really hit home to what it must have been like.

Thank God for critical studies as I wouldn't be able to relate back to Marxism and be aware of Lenin's contributions to Marxist Theory (Leninism) Also to link Panopticism with the concept of surveillance.

The best thing about it was my discovery of Sandmännchen or Sandman. It was amazing. Good old stop motion animation with models & handmade characters. Really incredible and inspiring.







IGNORE THE END's OF EACH ONE!!!!!! You can see what i mean by this if you dare watch past the Sandmannchen video's, it just turns into completely awful animation. awful.

Goodbye Lenin was on tonight too...
