about the film
No Logo author Naomi Klein turns her attention this time to what she calls “the shock doctrine”. In her research, Klein discovers that painful economic and political change is often pushed through in the aftermath of great crisis and catastrophe. This short film is an elegant illustration of a powerful idea: that great political change follows great crisis, and that this does not occur by accident.
NOTE: This short film will be screened right before The Planet
