Zeitgeist: Moving Forward

Documentary201 min

Peter Joseph argues that the world’s monetary-market system is fundamentally misaligned with human well-being and environmental limits, and lays out his case for a different social model built around shared resources rather than profit. Across chapters on human nature, economics, and technology, Joseph combines narration with interviews from voices including physician Gabor Maté and futurist Jacque Fresco. The film moves from critiques of social conditioning and inequality to broader claims about sustainability, scientific decision-making, and the pressures shaping modern life and the planet.
