Money and Lifeis a passionate and inspirational essay-style documentary that asks a provocative question: can we see the economic crisis, not as a disaster, but as a tremendous opportunity? This cinematic odyssey connects the dots on our current economic pains and offers a new story of money based on an emerging paradigm of planetary well-being that understands all of life as profoundly interconnected. An optimistic film steeped in appreciation for human ingenuity, Money and Life does not dictate answers. It is a respectful invitation to consider questions critical to all our well-being: How can we move beyond being merely consumers, debtors and creditors, and put money in service to what we really care about as citizens, as human beings? Can we design a monetary circulation system that fosters democratic equality? What responsibilities should a corporate charter convey? What does it really mean to make a living? The film itself demonstrates how to approach these questions with both clarity and compassion. Money and Life empowers each of us to respond to the fundamental issues of our time and to participate in the emerging new economy.
