The Shock Doctrine

The Shock Doctrine is a documentary that explores how neo-liberal capitalism has exploited natural disasters, wars, and terrorism to establish its dominance. Based on Naomi Klein's book, the film reveals how the concept of "shock treatment" has been used to impose harsh economic policies on vulnerable populations, resulting in massive profits for large corporations while causing widespread suffering among ordinary people. Through archival footage and insightful analysis, the film exposes the dark side of Milton Friedman's ideology and the destructive impact it has had on societies around the world.
