Eco-cine: Capitalism : A Love Story

Fecha del Evento: Martes, 27 de Noviembre de 2012
Hora del Evento: 10:30 a.m.

Campus Verde, the General Library, and Filmoteca of UPRM are proud to announce a new series of films that students can see every Tuesday at 10:30 am. The idea is for you to be able to “become informed while relaxing.” (Please note that Campus Verde is not responsible for the content of each movie and it is not our desire for you to believe that the film necessarily represents UPRM Campus Verde’s goals and ideals.)

Watch Trailer : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1232207/

IMBD RATING: 7.4/10 

Description:    Capitalism: A Love Story examines the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). The film moves from Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan. With both humor and outrage, the film explores the question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Moore goes into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal...and 14,000 jobs being lost every day. Capitalism: A Love Story also presents what a more hopeful future could look like. Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do? Written by Overture Films

*We have selected the series from films which will provide you with INFORMATION for living harmoniously with the planet. However, we cannot control the content of all of the films and we are not trying to be activists; rather we think that you can be part of the solution with everyone becoming aware of the present and planning for the future. Thus, we would want to work within the political system to educate, not alienate. We can make a difference with one individual, within one home, within one community; it does make a difference. Let’s try to make the as many drastic changes during the next 100 years as we made during the last 100 years, but in a more rational and sustainable mode.

Please note that if you miss seeing this film through the Campus Verde Eco-Cine, you can see it on your own by visiting the audiovisual center located in the right, back corner of the General Library. Mr. Eric Muñiz is the coordinator for the Audiovisual section, which will maintain a collection of most of the Eco-Cine films.

Please also make suggestions to CampusVerde@uprm.edu for future titles or other suggestions. Also let us know your ideas for Campus Verde to present “streaming” videos which you could watch on your computer by logging in through the UPRM portal.

Relevo de responsabilidad:

Disclaimer: We hope that you will learn from each film, but we also encourage you to seek out a balanced source of information. For instance, many of the films are NOT balanced; some in fact may be inflammatory. So use your discretion and note when exaggerated strong negative adjectives or phrases are used in the films to promote fear, such usages as “disaster”,  “slaughterers”, “baby killers”, “dumb”, ”stupid”, ”tragedy”, ”catastrophe”, or “we are making a terrible mistake in our policies”. While you may agree with some of the negative language, most documented films with reliable sources use MODERATED adjectives. Also, most trustworthy films suggest information and solutions on how the human species can deal with our current and future problems, such as running out of resources and destroying valuable habitat.

Our policy is to use the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) whenever possible. IMDB uses ratings generated from citizens around the world. If you wish, you can register at IMDB and cast your vote. To help with your scheduling, we also will try to post the runtime for each film, and to provide you with some additional information (year, tagline/plot
