Zeitgeist: Moving Forward, by director Peter Joseph, is a feature length documentary work which will present a case for a needed transition out of the current socio-economic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society.

This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical "life ground" attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a "Resource-Based Economy".

DVD running time: 2 hours, 41 minutes

Zeitgeist is not a cult. It is a largely ineffectual and idealistic movement, but not a cult. Not even if Peter Joseph wanted to, he could keep absolute control.

Yeah I know it's not run like one, but it's sorta close. At least in this one Matt Taibbi book I read where he infiltrated the 9/11 truthers and basically found that they spent most of their time making bad documentaries and all kinds of texts that no one would read. So I don't know if you can really label this a "movement."

No, no cults. Too much of a free thinker, see. Allergic to leaders too.

Just showing the film and discussing it.

Many 9/11 truthers are Zeitgeisters, but Zeitgeist is not about 9/11 truth. Have you even seen "Moving Forward"? There are no references whatsoever to 9/11 in that film.
