[ ] Stripped tracks Why is the lifestyle of consumerism a source of such rage today? How come the privilege of buying goods does not automatically lead to happiness? Why all this emptiness despite our wealth? Erik Gandini's approach through Surplus is to portray this issue from an emotional rather than a factual perspective. Shot in the US, India, China, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Canada and Cuba during three years. Surplus is the result of a complicated editing process by talented music composer/editor/percussionist Johan Söderberg. George W Bush's famous "shopping-speech" calling for a war against terrorism that deters the nation from the fear of consumption. Castro responding with hymns to the anti-consumerist, advertising-free island of Cuba. Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer preaching that the computer will give us peace on earth "bringing people together" while Adbuster Kalle Lasn warns that advertising pollutes us mentally, that over-consumption is unsustainable and that we are running out of oil. Surplus main man is John Zerzan, controversial philosopher whose call for PROPERTY DAMAGE has inspired many to take to the streets. "That is not violence. Sitting there doing dope and watching MTV . Then you go and get a job. Just schlep along. To me that is violence," says Zerzan. "We are terrorized into being consumers." In November 2003 Surplus was awarded with the most prestigious prize a Documentary can get, The Silver Wolf at Amsterdam's IDFA, and has spread widely around the globe since then.

Hi BhangWalla,
First, thank you for the titles you have provided here over the years. We have the same taste. You are difficult to track down since you do not subscribe to the piratebay forums. I've had a challenge trying to PM you.
I am wondering if it would be possible for you to reseed something you uploaded several months ago, "Bullshit" the Documentary with Vandana Shiva.

There are currently 20 waiting of us to finish the last 8% of the file. Any help would be appreciated.

This "documentary" is edited like an obnoxious acid techno song. They loop soundbites constantly with cheesy acid techno in the background. Its basically a preachy 50 minute music video that barely makes its point across. Really just terrible.
