L’encerclement—La démocratie dans les rets du néolibéralisme.
Richard Brouillette, 2008. B&W. 160 min. With Noam Chomsky, Ignacio Ramonet, Normand Baillargeon, Susan George
In French with English subtitles
A long-time supporter of Quebec documentary and feature filmmaking, Richard Brouillette here offers a thoroughly researched and engaging look at what he calls “the globalization of a system of thought.” Combining archival footage with new interviews with theorists, policy advisors, and economists, Encirclement is an exhaustive examination of the rise of neo-liberalism.
Reviews
“The film refrains from any propaganda, emotionality or didactic hankering after effects – Brouillette succeeds in remaining purely documentary. The film achieves its particular depth and integrity not least by giving equal time on the podium to some of the most eloquent representatives of Neo-Liberalism and Libertarianism.”—Vanity Fair
“A cogent attempt to bring related ideas to cinematic life, and an antidote to sound bite documentaries in general.”
—The New York Times
