The Third Industrial Revolution
6
The global economy is in crisis. Our biosphere's inability to absorb human activity, combined with the exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this compelling feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin lays out a road map to usher in a new era of sustainable development. A Third Industrial Revolution will unfold when three technologies emerge and converge: new communication, new sources of energy, and new modes of mobility. But, in the context of climate change, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.

Shadow World

Oct 14, 2016
A detailed investigation into the political and economic interests that, since the beginning of the 20th century, have pulled the strings of the arms trade, hidden in the shadows, feeding the shameful corruption of politicians and government officials and promoting a state of permanent war throughout the world, while they cynically asked for a lasting and universal peace.

Internet de tout et n'importe quoi

Plus moyen d'échapper à Internet. À l'heure où les objets et les espaces connectés ne se comptent plus, certains estiment vivre une utopie futuriste, d'autres un cauchemar où la surveillance est généralisée. Internet de tout et n'importe quoi dresse un tableau de l'omniprésence du numérique et examine ce qui se passe lorsque nous adoptons la commodité des objets « intelligents » sans comprendre pleinement les conséquences pour la santé, la société ou la planète.

Durant leur voyage, ils ont rencontré les pionniers qui réinventent l'agriculture, l'énergie, l'économie, la démocratie et l'éducation. En mettant bout à bout ces initiatives positives et concrètes qui fonctionnent déjà, ils commencent à voir émerger ce que pourrait être le monde de demain…

Visionaries: Small Solutions to Enormously Large Problems
8
An anthology series of seven documentary films written and directed by Tony Gailey and Julian Russell. Each piece examines the work of a living person who is a revolutionary thinker in their field. What the subjects have in common is a creative contribution to humanity that has the potential to elicit a paradigm shift—either by addressing global socioeconomic problems, or providing a radical scientific model to understanding a complex system.
