The political economist Benjamin Friedman once compared modern Western society to a stable bicycle whose wheels are kept spinning by economic growth. Should that forward-propelling motion slow or cease, the pillars that define our society – democracy, individual liberties, social tolerance and more would begin to teeter. Our world would become an increasingly ugly place, one defined by a scramble over limited resources and a rejection of anyone outside of our immediate group. Should we find no way to get the wheels back in motion, we’d eventually face total societal collapse.

Shooting a documentary in Europe, need some help https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/3999/shooting-a-documentary-in-europe-need-some-help Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:49:49 +0000 GOODEMPIRE 3999@/talks/discussions Guys, I've posted here already a couple times about the documentary we are working on (called "Planet of Babel" http://tv.globalresearch.ca/2012/05/planet-babel-story-greatest-recession-trailer) We are in the midst of production cycle — been shooting for the last week in Spain and had a really great experience in working with the GH2 ppl there.

We are now going to Italy through France and then — Greece.

If you guys have time/ideas and enthusiasm please don't hesitate to contact our crew.

As our previous experience showed nobody knows the situation better than the folks on the ground.

What we are looking for are people's stories, characters, plots, stories which can tell us something new/unusual about the current crisis.

Use this chance!!!

You can reach me here or through ksyomin @ gmail.com

Peace to the GH2 world dwellers!
