Back to a world where people are not soulless slaves to capitalism
To save the world, we have to go back to the Stone Age. That is more or less the message of #antiglobalisering guru John Zerzan, the unofficial architect of the particularly firm resistance to #globalisering at the beginning of the 21st century and at the heart of this 2003 activist film, which uses the laws of marketing and advertising to convey a different message.
Back to a world, it says, in which we as humans are no longer reduced to soulless slaves of the #kapitalisme , as a producer or as a consumer.
This theme is created by director Erik Gandini in Surplus: Terrorized Into Being Consumers (51 min.) unparalleled visualized with video clip like image sequences.
