THE SHOCK DOCTORINE DOCU

The Shock Doctrine is the latest documentary from acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom, co-directed by Mat Whitecross. Based on Naomi Klein's bestselling book, The Shock Doctrine argues that America's 'free market' policies have come to dominate the world through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries. Both the film and the book argue that governments all over the world exploit natural disasters, economic crises and wars to push through radical free market policies. Klein calls this 'disaster capitalism' and in her view, disaster capitalism is as effective as psychiatric shock therapy at wiping our collective memory. The film concludes that the result is often catastrophic for ordinary people and hugely beneficial to big corporations. The documentary also adds to Klein's thesis - which was written before the recent market turmoil - and includes an analysis of how the financial world got into its current troubled state.

Directed by Mat Whitecross & Michael Winterbottom

THE SHOCK DOCTORINE

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism

by the author of No Logo, Naomi Klein

The book argues that the free market policies of Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman have risen to prominence in some countries because they were pushed through while the citizens were reacting to disasters or upheavals. It is implied that some man-made crises, such as the Falklands war, may have been created with the intention of being able to push through these unpopular reforms in their wake.

In addition to the book Naomi Klein created a short film in corporation with Alfonso Cuaron, the director of "Children of Men". To support her message.

NO LOGO

"This book is for anyone who has gazed at the homogenized, brand-filled modern commercial landscape and wondered, 'Where did this all come from?' And, perhaps more importantly, 'How far will we let it go?'...Klein is a sharp cultural critic, and a flawless story-teller. Her analysis is thorough and thoroughly engaging." - Nicholas Corman

 NO SPACE, NO CHOICE, NO JOBS

by Naomi Klein 

The final section of 'No Logo' deals with various kinds of opposition and resistance to the superbrands and the kind of society they represent. This can range from the fun but ineffectual—such as parodying advertisements or throwing custard pies at Bill Gates—to the more substantive responses of Reclaim The Streets and the wider 'anti-capitalist' movement. Such activity Klein describes as 'laying the foundations for the first truly international people's movement'.
