It was in this one, The Power of Nightmares. Seriously one of the better series. I do not believe Curtis's documentaries ever air in the U.S. but they should. I appreciate his perspective.
The guy I was thinking of was Sayyid Qutb and I believe he is discussed in the first episode " Baby It’s Cold Outside". You can send me some sats after you watch his stuff ;)
Its on YT as well. What he really hits in this series is how politicians use fear to gain power. Basically they have run out of ideas and depend on nightmares to gain power.
