A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Call it the year of dreaming dangerously: 2011 caught the world off guard with a series of shattering events. While protesters in New York, Cairo, London, and Athens took to the streets in pursuit of emancipation, obscure destructive fantasies inspired the world s racist populists in places as far apart as hungary and arizona, achieving a horrific consummation in the actions of mass murderer anders Breivik. The subterranean work of dissatisfaction continues. Rage is building, and a new wave of revolts and disturbances will follow. Why? Because the events of 2011 augur a new political reality. These are limited, distorted sometimes even perverted fragments of a utopian future lying dormant in the present.
