This is my first time blogging, so I'm going to to keep it lite.
I wanted to share with you one of the best examples of power I could think of, and the example is: the 1960's television show "the Prisoner".
Concept:
A man who has recently resigned from a position in the government espionage division (think if James Bond quit), wakes up one day in his bed, in his apartment, and he opens the curtains to reveal that he is actually in a room designed to look like his. This room is in "The Village", a picturesque town thats built on a loop so no roads ever take you out, where people are not known by name but instead by number (our guy is number 6), and that the person who appears to be in charge is number 2. We soon learn "The Village" is a prison for people with valuable information, and that the reason for numbers is so that you aren't aware which people are fellow prisoners and which are parts of a clever plot to exert your ever-valuable information...
What to Expect to see:
A dated television show that you've already seen elements of in loads of other pop-culture; this show has it's influence everwhere... talk about power :)
One of the most original shows you've ever seen, especially the episode "Schizoid Man".
More examples of power dynamics including control than the Matrix.
Where to Find it:
For rent at "Have You Seen" on Aylmer st. in Peterborough
To avoid the risk of being called a spammer... you guys know how to use Google to find streaming & downloading sites already... go find one.

So what is "The Village?"... Who wants this information, for what do they want it?... and just who is number 1?...
Tune in to find out,
