Clive Dunn's fifty minute documentary sets out to try to answer this question. In the words of its fictional narrator, nicely played by Dangerfield's Bill Wallis, "was there something that made [Monty James] believe that evil and malice could become palpable?"

The Presnyakov brothers, playwrights, wrote a play about how terrorism arises. From what depths of the human subconscious? Or is he born in the usual rhythm of everyday everyday life? Kirill Serebrennikov turned the play into a tragic farce and made a powerful performance on the malice of the day.
