Sinopsis(1)
Disrupted lives in industrial areas against the backdrop of the triumph of international competition. Our guides through the alternatives to the prevailing neo-liberal rhetoric – václav Bělohradský, Jan Keller, Ilona Švihlíková and Tomáš Tožička – talk about the economic crisis and its effects from both the local and global perspective.

I would welcome a more detailed analysis of the situation in Jeseník, or a more detailed analysis of the context of global capitalism. Because the documentary tries to take a micro-perspective and explain it globally, it tends to reduce and argue cheaply (especially Tožiček's match performance is from the category of "economics for a special school"). Economist Švihlíková and sociologist Keller are excellent, and I would like to listen to them longer (again, it's a pity that one of the key arguments - stagnation of real wages and a rocketing rise in profits - is done as a fairground attraction). Although Bělohradský looks very extraterrestrial, his meditation on the space-time of technopolis is inspiring at its core. As an introduction to the debate and provocation of the blinded advocates of the "lost causes" of capitalism, this is useful. A person who is a little acquainted with the critical discourse of the modern left (Žižek, Judt, Badiou, Eagleton, Klein and others) can at most take it as a solid repeat... Klusák and his All for the Good of the World and Nosovice! is much better in all respects.
