Sinopsis
What would you do if your basic income was taken care of month after month? Would you stop working? Follow your passions? Take more risks? The four-figure sum that all four members of the Wardwell family receive each year from the Alaskan government’s crude oil profits goes towards a college fund for their children, something they would otherwise be unable to afford. Filmmaker Christian Tod, himself a fervent supporter of the idea, explores the model of an unconditional basic income and takes a look at trial systems already underway in the US, Canada and Namibia. Wandering the history of this utopia reminiscent of science fiction he eventually ends up in Switzerland, where the new system was voted on in 2016. In this multifaceted and highly entertaining documentary, Tod broaches life’s existential questions and fuels the debate on one of the most prevalent economic topics of our generation.
Controvertido documental que relaciona el Cristianismo, el 11-S y la Reserva Federal Americana. De distribución exclusiva por Internet pero disponible en algunos países ya en DVD, obtuvo excelentes críticas por parte de los internautas y otras muy negativas que ponían en liza la poca fiabilidad de algunas de las cosas que se contaban. No confundir con "American Zeitgeist", documental de Rob McGann del año 2006, estrenado en cines y que aborda un tema parecido.
Secuela del aclamado documental Zeitgeist. Como aquel, éste se estrenó directamente en Internet y puede verse gratuitamente desde su propia página oficial, y aborda cuatro temas de actualidad con la intención de dar a entender a la gente de que no todo es lo que parece.

Adora sus zapatos, adora sus coches y adora subir puestos en el escalafón corporativo. Cuando de un día para otro le ofrecen un puesto temporal lejos de su ciudad, en una pequeña población rural de Minnesota, para reestructurar una fábrica, Lucy acepta inmediatamente, sabiendo que un gran ascenso no anda muy lejos. Pero lo que empieza siendo un trabajo sencillo acaba siendo una experiencia que le cambiará la vida, ya que Lucy va a encontrar un mayor sentido a su existencia y también, de forma imprevista, al hombre de sus sueños (Harry Connick, Jr.).

Al mismo tiempo prepara el asalto a la Corporación Arcadia, el último obstáculo entre él y el puesto laboral que ansía.

United We Fall is a documentary about a North American Union that is being developed right now between Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

Emanando de las catacumbas griegas de Europa, un murmullo a través del continente devastado, “Que no vivamos como esclavos” (pronunciado “Na min zisoume san douli” en griego). En las paredes de la ciudad y las rocas de campañas, en las carteleras vacías o devastadas, en periódicos alternativos y radios rebeldes, en casass okupas y centros auto-organizados que se multiplican … este es el lema que la resistencia griega difunde, día tras día, y nos invita a su lado con las melodías de esta película. Un gran soplo de aire fresco, emoción y utopías en marcha vino del mar Egeo.
