Rich people ruin everything. Especially rebellion. None of us needs HBO's "The Anarchists" to deliver that revelation; we're living the truth of that. In that respect, Todd Schramke's documentary series should feel timely.
For those seeking an understanding of the anarchist movement, which requires ignoring the definition espoused by Fox News, Schramke's examination provides clarity without necessarily landing on a single crystallized answer. But if you're looking for a tingly stranger-than-fiction-TV bump, beware. Jumping into this story is akin to snorting a rail only to discover too late that your fun has been cut with itching powder. And once that stuff settles into your membranes, boy howdy is it impossible to rinse out.
