My guess would be that Curtis solicited and received a fat fee for his
documentary from the BBC who, like our PBS, pays big bucks for
programs supporting an anti-capitalist agenda. In fact, if I recall
correctly, this program was part of a series, which sounds like there
may be a book deal in there, too. When looking for motive, especially in
the world of showbiz, one can usually rely on the twin rewards of fame
and fortune. From what Rod told us about Curtis, I doubt if he is
another Mother Teresa.
