Part Four: The Demise of the Prophets
52 minutes, color, age range: 18 - adult, #1044
Re-inventing the Model
The program begins with May 1968; the Left is at the height of its triumph. Maoism, Baader-Meinhoff terrorism, Cambodia ... Although the hushed crowd at Jean-Paul Sartre's funeral procession in 1980 is large and reverent, this event marks a turning point. Today's intelligentsia has become isolated, introverted; human rights has become its sole cause. Could it be that the intellectual is a dying breed?
