Film to Open Eyes

The Shitropocene

You might have noticed that a lot of things seem to suck right now. This film isn’t about all the things that suck—that would be a really, really long film. But it is about consumption, which is both a cause and a symptom of the suckiness. For a bunch of reasons, pretty much everyone is making and buying too much stuff, and we’re evolutionarily programmed to want it. What was once an advantage (more! = better!) is now contributing to the destruction of the planet.
The Shitthropocene is a journey from the cellular- level origins of our lack of impulse control to the ways our central nervous systems have been hacked in the name of capitalism. It’s also about how we might begin to save ourselves from ourselves. Plus, there are dancing cave people.
