This Is The World As It Is

100%

This is the truth about the world today: not as it should be, or how it was taught to us in schools, but as it really is.

The 5 minute clip is from OBEY (2013), a film based on the book "Death of the Liberal Class" by journalist and Pulitzer prize winner, Chris Hedges. Watch the film online here. Watch more about capitalism's 'Sacrifice Zones'.
