This is the most comprehensive, yet concise exposition of the inception and ensuing history of the school I have ever seen -' love it!!

what is the song in the beginning?

[@L2THB]

I believe it is "3 Valses Distinguées Du Précieux Dégoute: II. Son Binocle" by Erik Satie

I like to walk and I find that I find things if I do go out and hike. I find poems. I find people. 13'18 Grateful for Jonathan Williams doing this. But a terrible conclusion to the documentary. BMC the result of the work of 3 totalitarians? Come on!

Have another listen - I think you missed the implication of the use of the word "totalitarian" at the conclusion. Narrator stated, "...it was the extension of 3 men who pushed the idea of freedom in a most totalitarian way... The results of their efforts was a nucleus of free-thinkers, who...demonstrate the freedom resultant from thought coupled with action."

Perhaps the word "comprehensive" would have been a better choice...
