Creator Vladimir Makarov on February 9, 2012
What is the story by Ernest Callenbach at the beginning of the trailer called? I would like to read it. Very cool topic, these are the kind of issue we need to be exploring.
Creator Anna Kazmierska on February 7, 2012
So looking forward to seeing this project come to fruition!
Creator Andrej Krystoforski on February 1, 2012
We love this idea for a wake up call for the humanity. We need a change!
Very creative approach and promising beginning for the great documentary.
Bravo!
Creator Simon Cross on January 30, 2012
So $5000 buys one the "Stool of Wisdom" right? The Stool of Wisdom? WTF?! More like The Shit of Wisdom, as if you are wise enough, you realise that the streets outside you house will be full of shit in just a few years time. 10 billion population? We ain't gonna get that far, - we will be lucky to hit 8 or 9 before 2020 when the shit will hit the proverbial fan, and it doesn't matter how wise you are, it will be all about how much land you have, how close you are to a fresh water supply, and how long you can hold out against the raging zombie hordes... $5 from me then.
