Our Consumer Society
This film digs into consumer society, tracing the history, philosophy, and psychology of what consumerism really means. It asks where the concept came from, whether it is useful, and if any real alternatives exist. Rather than lecture, it explores the desires that drive endless buying and the systems that feed them. It is a thoughtful, wide-ranging watch for anyone curious about money, meaning, and the way modern life is organized around wanting more. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
