The skyline of Los Angeles is identified by it's palm trees and like most of it's inhabitants it's population of trees are from elsewhere, immigrants. The city receives a continuous face lift with its mature full size palms being undug, beautified and replanted. This video is a harrowing observation of the uprooting process of one such tree.

"When you feel your teeth hurt, you go to the dentist. And when you need sex, or just to talk to someone... you come here." Welcome to the biggest brothel in europe, a clear blue eleven story high house in the middle of Cologne, Germany. More than 200 women from all over the world work here. If you ask them why, they will tell you it's the way it's always been. More than 700 men come here every day. Inside these walls, no daylight ever reach in. “Orgasm guaranteed” a sign says. ”Only 30 EURO.” This is a world of it's own with their own payment system, hairdresser, manicure, doctor and a 24 hour open staff restaurant.

IT'S TIME TO RECLAIM THE ECONOMY The economic crash of 2008 revealed not only the frailty and vulnerability of the economic system, it also showed the false basis that the growth economy is built on – the financial bubble grows bigger and crashes bigger, but we don't seem to be getting any happier. To the contrary, we suffer from greater job insecurity and environmental chaos threatens. The prescription from the mainstream economists is more growth – but is this just taking more of what ails us? Has growth become uneconomic? Is there another way? This film is part of an ongoing project to document the rise of a new movement – calling not for more economic growth, but LESS. The degrowth movement, or "mouvement por le decroissance", argues that through a voluntary reduction of the economy we can work less, consume less and live better, fuller lives. Many have been pointing out that our current economic system is leading us to an environmental and social catastrophe. "Life After Growth" begins to point to the people and communities who are looking for ways out. These are the pioneers who are rethinking the role of economics in our lives, and are engaging in different types of economic activity, right now. The D word is still taboo in many circles – politicians are loath to go against the growth orthodoxy that our society is based on. But everywhere people are engaging in degrowth type activity - the beginning of a wave that is laying the groundwork for a post-capitalist future... Because it's not the size of the economy that counts, it's how you use it!
