Marx Reloaded

Icarus Films • 52m

Directed by Jason Barker • Documentary • 2011 • 52 minutes

Today a new generation of philosophers, artists and political activists are returning to Marx's ideas in order to try to make sense of the crisis and to consider whether a world without or beyond capitalism is possible. Is the severity of the ongoing recession a sign that the capitalist system's days are numbered? Ironically, 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, could it be that communism might provide the solution to the growing economic and environmental challenges facing the planet?

Interviews with leading experts include: Norbert Bolz, Micha Brumlik, John Gray, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Nina Power, Jacques Ranciere, Peter Sloterdijk, Alberto Toscano, and Slavoj Zizek.

"A great introduction to Marx for a new generation. Highly recommended."—Simon Critchley, professor of philosophy at The New School and moderator of The Stone

"A roll call of some of the heavyweights in Marxist philosophy."—Socialist Review
