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.
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.
Detroit’s story has encapsulated the iconic narrative of America over the last century – the Great Migration of African Americans escaping Jim Crow; the rise of manufacturing and the middle class; the love affair with automobiles; the flowering of the American dream; and now… the collapse of the economy and the fading American mythos.
Nearly 100 years after its creation, the power of the U.S. Federal Reserve has never been greater. Markets and governments around the world hold their breath in anticipation of the Fed Chairman's every word. Yet the average person knows very little about the most powerful - and least understood - financial institution on earth. Narrated by Liev Schreiber, Money For Nothing is the first film to take viewers inside the Fed and reveal the impact of Fed policies - past, present, and future - on our lives. Join current and former Fed officials as they debate the critics, and each other, about the decisions that helped lead the global financial system to the brink of collapse in 2008. And why we might be headed there again.
El best-seller de Ronald Wright, Breve historia del progreso, inspiró este réquiem cinematográfico al "progreso de siempre". A lo largo de la historia de la humanidad, aquello que parecía "progreso" siempre ha resultado un tiro por la culata. Algunos de los más reconocidos pensadores, activistas, banqueros y científicos nos desafían a superar las trampas del progreso, las cuales destruyeron las antiguas civilizaciones, pero se encuentran traicioneramente integradas en la nuestra.

Overdraft is an award-winning film featuring leading thinkers and policymakers from across the aisle exploring major topics such as entitlement programs, defense spending, tax reform and the choices that America’s debt forces on individuals and businesses. Independently produced, Overdraft was launched in August 2012, and made available for broadcast on public television for two years through the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA).
With breathtaking clarity, renowned University of Massachusetts Economics Professor Richard Wolff breaks down the root causes of today's economic crisis, showing how it was decades in the making and in fact reflects seismic failures within the structures of American-style capitalism itself. Wolff traces the source of the economic crisis to the 1970s, when wages began to stagnate and American workers were forced into a dysfunctional spiral of borrowing and debt that ultimately exploded in the mortgage meltdown. By placing the crisis within this larger historical and systemic frame, Wolff argues convincingly that the proposed government "bailouts," stimulus packages, and calls for increased market regulation will not be enough to address the real causes of the crisis, in the end suggesting that far more fundamental change will be necessary to avoid future catastrophes.
United We Fall is a documentary about a North American Union that is being developed right now between Canada, the United States, and Mexico. For years this topic has been debated in the news and in political circles as being a possible future for North America. In recent years, the mood has shifted and a rift is developing between those who want a deeply integrated North American community, and those who wish to retain their national sovereignty. This film takes a look at both sides of the issue by interviewing insiders such as members of the ultra-secretive Bilderberg group, the Trilateral Commission and the Council On Foreign Relations and also journalists and activists such as Luke Rudkowski, Alex Jones and producer Dan Dicks who have been at the heart of this heated debate.
