Uncover the power of global activism with 'Breaking Social', a thought-provoking documentary led by the insightful Rutger Bregman. This film takes a critical look at corruption, kleptocracy, and structural inequality, offering a fresh perspective on the possibility of change. Bregman, a Dutch historian, challenges the notion of optimism, arguing that it can lead to complacency. Instead, he advocates for a 'possibilist' mindset, believing that things can be different. The documentary delves into various global movements, showcasing the efforts of activists who are making a difference. From the fight against corruption in Malta, where the son of the murdered journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia investigates a new scandal, to the inspiring activism in Chile and the US, where feminists march, climate activists battle mining companies, and workers unionize, the film presents a compelling narrative. Each story is a testament to the power of collective action. However, the film has been criticized for cramming too many narratives into one, but its infectious energy and Bregman's insightful nuggets of wisdom make it a must-watch. So, prepare to be inspired and join the movement towards a better future.
