The thing about the revolutions was merely one part of the topic. And yes, you are right in that he does not push forth his own ideas or ideology in a clear way or even tries to "prove" it. I think he kind of tries in this expermental movies to show what is and leave the viewer to draw own conclusions, which is why I thought this would be a nice one to debate about. Unlike other movies, it is not so much targeted to people who already know something - it is not preaching to the faithful, but it is controversial and I would have thought that a debate on the aspects it shows would be interesting, given that many of us would share some of his points. So I'd like this to be on topic and to be a thread about the content of the movies and not so much about whether or not it is worth watching it.

"Humans are storytellers. These stories then can become our reality. Only when we loose ourselves in the stories they have the power to control us. Our culture got lost in the wrong story, a story of death and defeat, of opression and control, of separation and competition. We need a new story!"
