you can also find it on youtorrent

honestly - I know - 47 minutes, that's why it took me a few weeks to get around to getting through the whole thing myself, but really you DO need to sit through it and take it in, it's a breathtaking thesis (on a par with the storyline of 'the matrix' - as realisations that 'you might not be living in the world you thought you were' go)

even if it's only one perspective/story, and there were other ways of reading the same facts & other potential reform solutions...
1. it's an incredibly compelling argument against not only economic growth but the banking system we have now
2. it's pretty timely too, gives a lot of perspective on why we have a credit crisis
3. despite basic production values it's a great example of explaining something complex

I'm meeting a green economics author & government advisor tomorrow, I will have to ask him how much of this is held to be *true* in professional circles :J

ps there is loads of further reading and support for this view over at United Diversity - Joseph calls it one of the most important films ever made
