How Our Lives Are Dictated

Documentary about hidden limitations and freedom: How Our Lives Are Dictated - Life is about choice. What we eat, what we read, who we elect; every day we make choices that determine how we want to live. But what if these choices are just an illusion?

Synopsis:
In an era where regulations and red tape rule every industry, where lobby groups and big business wield more influence than ever before, our daily choices have become increasingly limited. And with all our options so deliberately handpicked, are we really making a choice at all? Freedom From Choice is a feature-length documentary examining the current state of life and personal choice in America today. Experts from many different fields offer a frank and startling look at the hidden limitations in our daily lives. Focusing on key areas such as food, medicine, finance, and media, Freedom From Choice provides viewers with a glimpse at the myriad of ways their lives are being dictated, and tells us who stands to gain. Freedom From Choice is a film not about the choices we make, but rather the choices that are being made for us.

Reviews:
"Freedom From Choice is a documentary covering all the subjects people don't want to hear about because, "ignorance is bliss" and anyway why take all the fun out of pretending you actually are living in a democracy? This docudrama is extremely well done and covers so much ground in such a short time. Maybe if enough of our citizens see this we can have an "awakening" or, maybe not."
