Zeitgeist: Moving Forward

Directed by Peter Joseph2h 41m2011

A presentation of a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society. This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical 'life ground' attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a 'Resource-Based Economy'.

Our read: Zeitgeist: Moving Forward (2011) reads as a sombre, measured, inventive documentary · survival entry — gentle in intensity, epic-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
