Human Resources - the pathology of elite power.

Human Resources is a documentary about Social Control,
examining the history, the philosophy and ultimately the
pathology of elite power.

Human Resources

A very salient film. Extremely well done.

It's a subtle shift- the significance of which was probably lost on a great many people- where workers went from being people to being assets. It's a lot easier to dispose of a 'resourse' than a 'person'.

I don't know if this has anything to do with this video- I can't spare two hours to watch it just now- but I just thought I'd share.

Thank you. This really was an excellent video. I was not aware of the extent of experimentation the government has done in the past on it's citizens. And it seems some things never change.

Ha! And we thought our lives were our own! I think I seen this on the documentary channel a few or ten years back. BTW, what happened to the Doc Channel?
