BBC Four - Storyville, Accidental Anarchist: Life Without Government

How a diplomat who resigned over the Iraq war tried to find a better way of doing things.

A Storyville documentary: Carne Ross was a career diplomat who resigned over the Iraq war. One man's epic journey from government insider to anarchist.

Carne Ross was a career diplomat who believed western democracy could save us all. But after the Iraq war he became disillusioned and resigned. This film traces Carne's worldwide quest to find a better way of doing things - from a farming collective in Spain, to Occupy Wall Street to Rojava in war-torn Syria - as he makes the epic journey from government insider to anarchist.
