Debtocracy (2011) - Public Domain Universe - Aris Chatzistefanou & Katerina Kitidi

Debtocracy (2011) - Public Domain Universe - Aris Chatzistefanou & Katerina Kitidi For the first time in Greece, a documentary produced by the audience. "Debtocracy" seeks the causes of the debt crisis and proposes solutions sidelined by the government and the dominant media. The documentary is distributed online under creative commons licence since April 6, 2011, officially subtitled in six languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and European Portuguese). Aris Chatzistefanou and Katerina Kitidi discuss with economists, journalists and intellectuals from all over the world, who describe the steps that led Greece to the current debt trap --to debtocracy. The documentary follows the course of countries like Ecuador, which created Audit Commissions, and tracks the similar process in Greece. Debtocracy features the academics David Harvey, Samir Amin, Costas Lapavitsas and Gerard Dumenil; the philosopher Alain Badiou; the head of Ecuador's Audit Commission Hugo Arias; the president of CADTM Eric Toussaint; journalists like Avi Lewis (co-creator of the documentary "The Take") and Jean Quatremer; as well as public figures like Manolis Glezos and Sahra Wagenknecht (from the German party Die Linke). The soundtrack was written by Yiannis Aggelakas, Ermis Georgiadis and Aris RSN, while the journalist and economist Leonidas Vatikiotis scientifically edited the whole project. BitsnBytes undertook the production of "Debtocracy", which was edited by Aris Triantafyllou.

YouTube is our platform of choice; a great platform because it is well-known by the general public, easy to use and open to discussion (at least, PDU videos are open to video responses and comments, always). Discussion is important because the works in these videos are often not well-known or could have been forgotten by time. Their free status does allow easy distribution though, which they should benefit from. These videos are free because the work you see in them never were copyrighted or they have lost their copyright status for various reasons (usually because of their age), so you can do what you want with them, even use them commercially (when something truly is in the public domain) without even needing to refer back here (since PDU too doesn't own them). It sure would be nice if you shared our links though!
