Free Lunch Society – Come Come Basic Income

Christian Tod / Austria, Germany / 2017 / Czech Premiere / 95 min.


synopsis

The greatest ever change in economic order is within reach! All that remains to be done is to overcome conventional thinking and accept the concept of unconditional basic income. In his montage documentary, the Austrian director simulates the history of the efforts to implement this reform, and, with futuristic playfulness, extrapolates its possible future development.

biography

Christian Tod (1977) is an Austrian economist and documentarian, who both in his professional capacity in the university environment and as a filmmaker – specifically in his Free Lunch Society – focuses on the topic of unconditional basic income.
