Plot
From the acclaimed director of American Movie, the documentary follows former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter Michael Ruppert. He recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out his apocalyptic vision of the future, spanning the crises in economics, energy, environment and more.
Sinekatalog’s take
A former cop turned independent reporter lays out his dark vision of the future in a long, claustrophobic interview. Bleak and hypnotic, it is fascinating whether you buy his claims or not, but best watched with a sceptical mind.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
