Adam Curtis
Curtis (Wikipedia) is a British writer, producer, director and narrator of documentaries, though rarely all at once. He’s been working for the BBC since the 1980s, making TV miniseries with considerable depth, usually expressing a clear and reasonable opinion. Curtis is famous for his approach of extensive archive mining, resulting in illustrative and humorous incidental footage, lightening his touch on some very complicated interdisciplinary themes.
