Be careful what you do
Be careful what you do with the thing that has given to you
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you do... the way you were raised
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you do with the thing you protect
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you do with the thing which has helped you
Take care of our land
Be careful what you do - the way you were raised
Take care of our grandfathers
Take care of our grandmothers too
Take care of your children and your brother and sister's children too
Previously unused archival footage of the Soviet Union and Russia from the BBC's Moscow bureau was unearthed and digitised by a BBC employee, Phil Goodwin.[1] Adam Curtis appeared to be the only person within the BBC interested in using the footage.[2] In a departure from his usual style, Curtis opted not to use voiceovers or non-diegetic music, with the only commentary made via on-screen captions.[3][2] Curtis, in a piece in The Guardian, explained this choice was because the footage was "so strong that I didn’t want to intrude pointlessly, but rather let viewers simply experience what was happening".[4] In an interview with Meduza, Curtis stated that Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace served as an inspiration for him as "it appeals to my collage mind".[5]
