John Berger / Ways of Seeing , Episode 1 (1972)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDE4VX_9KkWays of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb. Berger's scripts were adapted into a book of the same name. The series and book criticize traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images. The series is partially a response to Kenneth Clark's Civilisation series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon.
CW: Around the 20 minute mark, footage of an execution is briefly shown.
