The four horsemen documentary-An inspiration story day 113.1


The four horsemen documentary: ‘The world will never return to ‘business as usual’’


Four Horsemen is the debut feature from director Ross Ashcroft which reveals the fundamental flaws in the economic system which have brought our civilization to the brink of disaster.
23 leading thinkers –frustrated at the failure of their respective disciplines – break their silence to explain how the world really works.
The film pulls no punches in describing the consequences of continued inaction – but its message is one of hope. If more people can equip themselves with a better understanding of how the world really works, then the systems and structures that condemn billions to poverty or chronic insecurity can at last be overturned. Solutions to the multiple crises facing humanity have never been more urgent, but equally, the conditions for change have never been more favourable.

It is not the first time an indictment to the neo capitalist system of the last 20 years is set, but it's certain that we are entering the era of the consequences now. 

Rather than condemning bankers, politicians or the media, Four Horsemen feature documentary puts the entire system up for discussion. 

In almost two hours the world’s leading economic thinkers give their views on the current capitalism. How can it be that one half of the world suffer from obesity and the other half dies of hunger? That’s the big question. By analogy with the Bible calls the creator himself: Who are the four horsemen who are at the basis of the Apocalypse? 

A voice-over connects the different thinkers together and leads the viewer through themes such as wealth, inequality, consumerism and progress. 

The documentary ends with surprisingly simple solutions for the deplorable state of our world. For, as ecologist Satish Kumar says: “What has been created by humans, can be changed by people.” 
That’s why it fits in the current discours.
Strong documentary! Try to watch it, trailer underneath for first impression or more at http://www.fourhorsemenfilm.com/
