Plot Summary
Money & Life is an essay-styled documentary that takes us on a journey, from the origins of money to connecting the systemic dots on the current global financial crisis and how we got here. Most importantly, Money & Life says that we owe it to ourselves to understand the fundamentals of this technology called money in order to be effective participants in the economic transformation that is happening around us, a shift more rapid than and as profound as the Industrial Revolution.The film is a tapestry of beautifully shot expert interviews woven with compelling vignettes of individuals and businesses, consciously transforming their relationship with money. Together with dynamic animation, an original music score, and an elegant voice of narration, the film tells a new story of money, but more broadly it tells a new story of humanity. Money & Life aspires to be a part of bringing a new consciousness to our understanding and practices in the world of money, bringing a touch of humor and a lot of heart to a matter that concerns us all.An optimistic film steeped in appreciation for human ingenuity, Money & Life does not dictate answers. It is a respectful invitation to consider questions critical to all our well-being: How can we move beyond being merely consumers, debtors and creditors, and put money in service to what we really care about as citizens, as human beings? Can we design a monetary circulation system that fosters democratic equality? What responsibilities should a corporate charter convey? What does it really mean to make a living? The film itself demonstrates how to approach these questions with both clarity and compassion. Money & Life empowers each of us to respond to the fundamental issues of our time and participate in the emerging new economy.

A look into our own opportunities…
This is a profound documentary, allowing us to peer into money as a construct that we have mutually created. The view afforded invites us to understand both the strengths and weaknesses of different ways of exchange. What kinds of relationships are created, what kinds of currents flow through those exchanges?
This film invites us into the very real possibility of co-creatively sourcing a future that works for all of us. Come and play! :-)
