Escape!... from the Cult of Materialism

In the western world, the accumulation of wealth has become the ultimate symbol of success.

According to the new documentary 'Escape! from the Cult of Materialism', this unquenchable thirst for more has made slaves of us all, and suppressed the most basic human virtues of decency, solidarity and compassion.

A mosaic of inventively edited stock footage, animations and clips from various popular films, this enlightening documentary provides a brief but sweeping overview of materialism's origins, and its continued clutch on society today.

It all starts with simple desire.
