When money drives almost all activity on the planet, it's essential that we understand it. Yet simple questions often get overlooked, questions like; where does money come from? Who creates it? Who decides how it gets used? And what does this mean for the millions of ordinary people who suffer when the monetary, and financial system, breaks down?

The Corporation
Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.

The documentary focuses on money, and how it's made, and the economic and social repurcussions of the process and how banks are exploiting this process for profit.In fact, it seems the writers and even the people interviewed during this documentary have really no idea of how finance and the economy works... at all. Clearly the directors showed only one side of the story, so it is not without bias that they are getting their point across and luring viewers with the idea that it is all an evil and corrupt system. I'm not questioning whether or not the system is corrupt, or outdated in policies and processes, but the fact of the matter is that the information given in this documentary is incorrect about the money system.Viewers, be advised to do your own research before considering this the de facto exposé of the money system.

"The issue of monetary reform has historically been a very sensitive issue, because of the incredible power, wealth and privileges it bestows. In an age where analytical thought and a scientific approach are held in such high esteem, there is no justifiable argument for keeping the mechanisms and implications of the monetary process such a taboo subject.As democratic citizens we have the right to demand a monetary system which is both stable and beneficial to society..." Learn how the global financial institutions are just like terrorists, holding the public hostage with threats of economic collapse - how they're bailed out at the expense of the infrastructures we need to live as we're told that they are simply too big to fail.This film describes how the banks can fail, and we can all have the financial security we need to confidently take out loans, buy houses and live freer, happier lives, neither as slaves to the banks or restrained by the fear of losing everything.
