A paint by numbers documentary that uses outdated Marxist tropes to demonise capitalism as a whole.
Can you see where this is going?
An almost text-book cliché of these kinds of films. The talking heads are from a very certain sub-set of institutions and publications that fall under the stakeholder control of a very particular politically leaning faction of elite backers.
Ironically, these are the very same "1%" the film claims to be criticising.
The system makes its own "anti-establishment" film.
Basically the message is "anyone with wealth is inherently fascist".
Puerile tropes, with at a mildly visually interesting use of stock footage.
Watch an Adam Curtis documentary instead, it will tell you far more, and does better a better job than this film, which has stylistically tried to rip him off.
Or alternatively watch "How Big Oil Conquered The World" and "Why Big Oil Conquered The World" by James Corbett on youtube, these are far more economically informative.
Or read a history book, Carroll Quigley's "Tragedy and Hope" springs to mind.
This film is ultimately dull, and very disappointing.
