In this episode of The Deeper Thinking Podcast, the focus is on the BBC drama The Way, a collaboration between filmmaker Adam Curtis, actor Michael Sheen, and writer James Graham. The episode delves into the show’s exploration of industrial decline, political unrest, and social alienation through the story of a family displaced by the closure of the Port Talbot steelworks.
Drawing parallels to real-world political and economic events like Brexit, populist uprisings, and the rise of Big Tech, the episode unpacks Curtis’s critique of modern power structures and the failures of protest movements to bring about lasting change. It reflects on how invisible systems of control—whether through corporate power or digital algorithms—alienate individuals from political influence, and why these themes are more relevant today than ever.
Blending analysis with sharp social commentary, the podcast explores why The Way serves as a poignant reflection of modern society’s struggles, highlighting the emotional and psychological toll of living in a world where meaningful change feels increasingly out of reach.
