The Little Drummer Girl (Miniseries; 2018)
Shakespeare said that the world is a stage and that we all mere actors playing our roles. It is true. The things that are allegedly happening at this very moment are actually staged and real actors play the part.
This is the premise of this confusing spy saga which is based on John le Carre's novel of the same name.
It tells the tale of a clandestine Israeli spy agency that, through its covert activities, nips troublesome anti-Israeli resistance at its bud. To infiltrate through the enemy lines, university students, activists and actors are recruited to act out their roles wholeheartedly. This indoctrination process is so intense that participants lose their grip on what is reality and what is not. They are sometimes needed to play the part of double-crossing agents. Their interaction with the 'enemies' open their realisation that the people on the other side of the divide have their point of view which also makes sense.
The realisation may sometimes be too overwhelming that the actors may be knocked off their rocker.
For us, the spectators, the citizens of the world (i.e. the stage)are fed with a particular narrative as determined by the director. The director referred to here is that power that controls the media. They would decide the storyline, who is the good guy and who is the villain. They try to skew the people's mindset by emphasising what matters and what is newsworthy. The lure of romance and the captivating drama of Hollywood, new world order is put forth.
