The Shock Doctrine

Investigative reporter Naomi Klein’s provocative best-selling thesis about disaster capitalism receives an interpretive documentary outline from filmmakers Michael Winterbottom (THE ROAD TO GUANTANAMO) and Mat Whitecross. Klein contends that in order to effect free-market “pure capitalism” around the world, rightist elites have exploited arising crises – revolutions, natural disasters, regional wars – to impose their vision of the future. “THE SHOCK DOCTRINE is one of the most important political books of the past decade” – The Independent.
