15 years has passed and the worldwide march of materialism is still unrelenting, with Buy Nothing Day no more observed now than then and income gaps yawning ever wider. This documentary retains its explanatory and motivational power, and it will continue to do so until we can say "Well, we've solved that problem."
Only approximately 50 minutes in, until the sales pitch. Wonderful, hysterical irony.
I watched this. I liked it a lot.
i enjoy films like this and wish they had more influence
Very dated, but enjoyable.
sucks
Great Information and suggestions. Well documented
Materialism did not end as much as these folks thought it would when they made the documentary in the late 1990's. They still offer good points that remain true about how consumerism is not the answer to happiness nor is it sustainable as a way to economic prosperity. What is the answer, truly we are still looking.............
Alright
couldntsit through the whole thing!
"We start looking at other people and we say, 'If they don't give us pleasure, then, they are disposable.'"
From Ted Haggard, Minister of New Life Church in Colorado, in AFFLUENZA (1997), before the fall.
Nice movie but Voluntary Simplicity had not experienced 2008. I wonder what those people would say now?
