A man applying for refugee status in Japan was told falsely that, "If you work in the decontamination effort, your visa will be extended," following the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. "ALARA" was created based on this incident.

A detailed investigation into the political and economic interests that, since the beginning of the 20th century, have pulled the strings of the arms trade, hidden in the shadows, feeding the shameful corruption of politicians and government officials and promoting a state of permanent war throughout the world, while they cynically asked for a lasting and universal peace.

In 1515 Machiavelli stated that it is better for the Prince to be feared than loved. Some 500 years later, Michael Hardt, political philosopher and co-author of Empire, Multitude and Commonwealth, asks what it would mean to base a political system on love, rather than on fear. How can we transform a society that is increasingly defined by a permanent state of war and cultivated by an industry of fear? How can we realize the paradigm shift necessary to move away from a reality that depends on the exploitation of people and the cult of privatisation of public resources?

Examines the ideological roots of the "austerity" agenda and proposes revolutionary paths out of the current crisis.

Marx Reloaded is a cultural documentary that examines the relevance of German socialist and philosopher Karl Marx's ideas for understanding the global economic and financial crisis of 2008-09. The crisis triggered the deepest global recession in 70 years and prompted the US government to spend more than 1 trillion dollars in order to rescue its banking system from collapse. Today the full implications of the crisis in Europe and around the world still remain unclear. Nevertheless, should we accept the crisis as an unfortunate side-effect of the free market? Or is there another explanation as to why it happened and its likely effects on our society, our economy and our whole way of life?

Этот фильм — довольно незамысловатый набор интервью с современными философами: как известными русскоязычному зрителю (Славой Жижек, Джудит Батлер, Авитал Ронелл), так и малоизвестными (Корнел Вест, Майкл Хардт и другие). Тематика интервью — от уже давно приевшейся глобализации до мусора как основы идеологии.
