Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is the third installment of the Zeitgeist film series and was released in 2011. The documentary outlines the failures of the current social and economic structures and argues for a new way of organizing society.
The film begins by discussing the concepts of human nature, culture, and social conditioning. It argues that the current economic and political systems are a result of these factors and that they contribute to global problems such as poverty, war, and environmental degradation. The documentary then introduces the concept of a resource-based economy (RBE), which is a system that utilizes technology and scientific analysis to manage resources and create abundance for everyone.
The film features interviews with experts in fields such as economics, anthropology, and psychology who explain how the RBE would work. The documentary also examines alternative structures of society such as intentional communities and gift economies.
Zeitgeist: Moving Forward concludes by calling for a global shift towards an RBE and encouraging viewers to take action to create a more sustainable and equitable world. The film has been praised for its thought-provoking ideas and has inspired a global movement for societal change.
