- What has become of the concept of the "common more...good", which is the basis of life in society? Can the market serve as a guarantor of the common good? Through various stories shot in Canada, the USA, Mexico, France, Brazil and India, this documentary shows the consequences of the world's submission to private interests: a Canadian farmer is sued when patented seeds are blown into his fields; traditional knowledge is patented in India; American people without insurance are denied healthcare; Canadian water is sold to the highest bidder while thousands of people in the world desperately need it. Using an effective parody of the "Voice-of-God" documentary style, "Privatizing the World" presents a revealing snapshot of a global community at a crossroads. Bring your friends and family; this film is an engaging introduction to the privatization of the commons.
