Survey - Deciding
Television (Full Length) – 1972
Of all the phobias that inflict mankind, I suppose the most frustrating is the fear of making decisions.– Voice-over
I wanted to make a programme the opposite to the one on clubs and getting together, and I thought of one about strong individuals, the decision-makers. But I discovered that decision-making is such a human dilemma it would be better to make a film on those unable to make decisions and the fact that society can't come to grips with decision-making.– Director Tony Williams in The Listener, 17 April 1972, page 14
