The Bottom Line: Privatizing the World

Runtime: 65 minutes

God created the world in seven days. Today, the All-powerful Businessman is intending to sell it in as may days. His ultimate goal: to declare the Total Market.

The film is a multilayer-ed investigation into the erosion of the global commons within the context of increasing privatization and expanding patent rights. People from Canada, the USA, Mexico' France, India and Brazil share stories of the com-modification of water, seeds, genes, health care, knowledge, and what citizens are doing to oppose this trend.

Using an effective parody of the voice-of-god documentary style, the film presents a revealing snapshot of a global community at the crossroads.

Screening: Saturday, November 12, 7:45PM at 217 East 42nd Street Reserve Seats
