Full Plot Details

This documentary examines the flaws in our systems, and the mechanisms that work against democracy and the environment. From conflicts of interests in politics and unregulated corporate power, to a news media that serves the interests of powerful elites; ETHOS explores the systems that lead us into over consumption and warfare. Too often the media celebrates aspects of our society that belong in the dark ages, while at the same time ignoring or ridiculing progressive thinking or ideas. Many aspects of the way our systems work almost guarantee our destruction as a society and that's what this film is about. Fractured societies, poverty, disparity, pollution, warfare. Is there something inherently wrong with the human race? Is that what we should think of ourselves? We have tried to set up forms of law and government that safeguard the public good. But, if the majority of people want to live in peace and justice in a clean environment and we look around at the world and see that isn't the case, then is our democracy broken? Every time we turn on the TV there is another environmental catastrophe. Our water, our air, poisoned. Why do we allow this? The news shows endless reels of starving refugees fleeing to escape war zones. Why are we still fighting endless wars? Why do we live like this? If these things are happening then they are the logical outcomes to the way our systems work. So, what is wrong with the system? And more importantly, how can we fix it? These are the question Ethos attempts to answer.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Desmond BThought provoking wake up call.Time to smell the coffee people.
User Review - 10/10 by Earl MKudos to Woody Harrelson for standing up for truth and presenting the facts to the people. This is similar to other documentaries but Woody brings more credibility and charisma. Great job, keep up the good work.
User Review - 10/10 by Sandra CVery informative of how corrupt our nation has become. WAKE UP!! It's time to take our country back!
User Review - 8/10 by Russell MWorld wide change is needed. This documentary does not mince words, but it has a hopeful message.
User Review - 8/10 by Adam GIt has a couple of weak points in it that hurt the film's message overall (mostly on 9/11), the production quality isn't the best (though it has some neat techniques), but overall it's a really good introductory/summary of post-FED America, how it came to be, where it is headed, and what we could do about it. Woody Harrelson is a great host, his lines are very well written, and his segments shine almost as well as the quotations shown do. I loved the way the TV monitors behind him were set up to show capitalism's ingratiation in America's pop culture. And the blinking effect used to emphasis certain parts of his monologue. The beginning and ending were by far the strongest parts of the film, where they explained how public corporations and the FED work, and how much difference our dollars really could make.
User Review - 8/10 by Laurie Lscary future if we don't do something to change things - so watch this and find what you can do!
User Review - 8/10 by Scott BInteresting and hopefully false. However, conspiracy theories generally don't pop out of nowhere.
User Review - 8/10 by Cathlene BWorld wide change is needed. This documentary does not mince words, but it has a hopeful message.
User Review - 6/10 by Karen NA decent documentary. A little too "fear" oriented, despite how they market it.
User Review - 6/10 by Gorman MA bit rambling, but it rightfully lays the blame for many of our political and environmental ills at the feet of corporations.
