Alternative title: Alienation (Episode 1)
Synopsis: A series of five short films on the ideas of Karl Marx to commemorate the 200th anniversary of his birth.
In the first film journalist Paul Mason explains what Marx meant by Alienation. He searches fort the roots of Marx thinking in Berlin, where he started to study in 1836. "For Marx - alienation doesn’t just mean: we get depressed, we hate our jobs, or that we feel bad about the world...it means we’re constantly using our creative powers in the wrong way. We make things - but the things we make - machines, states, religions, rules - end up controlling us." [5 minutes]
