Description:
This thought-provoking film delves into the concept of 'disaster capitalism,' which argues that neoliberal economic principles thrive in the wake of catastrophes such as natural disasters, wars, and acts of terrorism. Directed by a visionary filmmaker, the documentary weaves together interviews with renowned authors like Naomi Klein, along with real-life examples that demonstrate how governments exploit these tragedies to implement economic policies that favor multinational corporations. The film presents a sobering exploration of our modern society and raises crucial questions about the role of capitalism in an increasingly uncertain world.
