Synopsis

Karl Marx's theories resonate in "Marx Reloaded," set against the backdrop of the 2008-09 global financial crisis. The documentary investigates the severe recession that led the US government to spend over 1 trillion dollars to stabilize its banking system. It questions whether this crisis stems from flaws in the free market or if Marx's ideas reveal deeper economic issues. The film reflects on the implications of these events across Europe and beyond.
