I ♥ $

Johan van der Keuken attempts to film the global flow of money and the dependence of the human survival on it, and eventually focuses on his favourite human factor: people who have enough money and people who don’t. The Dutch documentary filmmaker travels the world yet again, infiltrates the large financial centres and presents the behaviour of those at the top of the economic pyramid as well as those at the bottom. Shots of illegal immigrants in Geneva, poor families in Hong Kong, African-Americans in New York and generally people who, because of their meagre financial state, have been marginalized, converse with interviews of bankers and investors, making up for a shocking, timely and prophetic documentary that proves that the power of money knows no nationalities.
