[推荐] THE BOTTOM LINE: PRIVATIZING THE WORLD

[oread]

This provocative documentary investigates the privatization of the world and invites viewers to reflect on the notion of the 'common good'. Through various stories shot in Canada, the US, Mexico, France, Brazil, and India, this documentary discusses world's compliance to private interests: a Canadian farmer is sued by Monsanto because patented seeds brought by the wind are growing in his fields; traditional knowledge is being patented in India; American people without insurance are denied healthcare; and businessmen who want to sell Canadian water to the highest bidder while thousands of people in the world desperately need it. This documentary offers a revealing snapshot of a global community at a crossroads.

Will be aired on The Knowledge Network, ExpressVu 452, on Mar 25 @ 11:00 PM
