THE STATE WITHIN is possibly the most biased piece of work to come out of the BBC in many years.
Once again, the members of the US government are warmongering death-profiteers in collusion with the Military-Industrial Complex.
It's bad enough that Hollywood continually portrays the US government as the hidden enemy and industry as either their masters or loyal servants in the subjugation of third-world nations for the sake of making a buck.
However when the British do it you have to begin to wonder who your real friends are? Sure, they can cry all they want about "literary license" but can they really claim that this type of propaganda has no effect in the West and all over the world?
Then there are the social commentary that the film-makers decided to throw in. Multiple scenes of men making out with each other. Multiple weepy speeches about how the death penalty is wrong.
Why not take all of your obvious talent and make something that is a little less politically-motivated?
