Welcome to the city of Detroit, 'the Murder Capital of the USA', where the grass is growing over the parking lots and the houses are abandoned. Here, a new life is slowly beginning to take form and take over the deserted city. But even if the writing on the wall has a different and more apocalyptic meaning, there is no reason to panic. 'Detroit Wild City' looks with the wandering gaze and cool, philosophical distance of the outsider at the changes in urban landscapes in a historical moment when a 'post-' is written before 'utopias', 'humanity' and 'dollar capitalism'. Invisible disasters have ruined the city, and all that is left are traces in the form of radio adverts about debt relief, flocks of stray dogs, and a mysterious pile of burned New Age books. But on the fringes of it all, people have started to reorganise themselves in autonomous societies, where settlers are growing vegetables and still believe in the future - just not as an extension of the present.

Alarm-raising and catastrophist films have been made, and they have served their purpose. Now it is time to show that there are solutions. To give voice to the farmers, philosophers and economists who are inventing and experimenting with new alternatives while also explaining why our society is mired in the current ecological, financial and political crises. Pierre Rabhi, Claude and Lydia Bourguignon, the landless workers of Brazil, Kokopelli and Vandana Shiva in India, Mr. Antoniets in Ukraine... Meet the resistance fighters in love with planet Earth. The series of surprisingly concordant interviews proves that options exist and that an alternative is possible. It is a concrete response to the ecological challenges – and the crisis of civilisation in general – that we are currently in the midst of.
UntitledCalling on hitherto unpublished documents and numerous first-hand accounts from victims, farmers and prominent scientists and politicians, The World According to Monsanto puts together the pieces of the history of this corporate giant which is tightening its grasp on the world seed market, but styles itself as a “life sciences company” that simply wants to solve world hunger while protecting the environment.
