Zeitgeist Moving Forward Winner Best Documentary


Winner Best Documentary Film Award, Image Gazer Film Festival.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward [2011] by director Peter Joseph is a 162 minute film work which continues what the prior two films of the Zeitgeist Film Series started: a critical look at the “Zeitgeist” or ‘Spirit /Awareness of the Time’. A prominent underlying thesis of the Film Series is that a great many notions, beliefs and practices currently engaged in today and assumed as “presupposed”, “given” or seemingly empirical to our societal approaches and values are not only intellectually/historically incorrect but highly detrimental to our personal and social progress and sustainability.

Zeitgeist: Moving Forward focuses on the very fabric of the social order: Monetary-Market Economics. While the majority of the world today have slowly come to see some basic flaws in the economic system we share, as large scale debt defaults, inflation, industrial pollution, resource depletion, rising cancer rates and other signposts emerge to bring the concern into the realm of “public health” overall, very few however consider the economic paradigm as a whole as the source. The tendency is to demand reform in one area or another, avoiding the possibility that perhaps the entire system is intrinsically flawed at the foundational level. ZMF presents the case that it is, indeed, the very foundational mechanics of this system that generates the patterns of behavior and unsustainable methods of conduct that are leading to the vast spectrum of detrimental consequences both personal, social, and environmental and the longer they go on, the worse things will become.

Moreover, unlike the prior films of the series, this film lends more direct support to the data sets of both The Zeitgeist Movement and The Venus Project as Activist and Sustainability organizations respectively.

After seeing this I decided to check out an earlier post by Mario Brotha about ZMF never going to win an award and he apparently took it down. Not surprising...

You should have taken a screenshot of that remark. Would have made a nice blog... Oh and last week I noticed there was another 'Anon,' 'Anon9AllOfUs' to be precise and the funny thing was he had some videos up on his channel that I've seen before on MarioBrothaYT before it got cancelled. Good chance it's him.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ran about 2 or 3 of the Anon accounts.

Could be, but I think several people are involved with those Anon accounts. It's highly likely Bill Matriark runs the Anon7AllOfUs account.
