Saw this when it was on TV, it was... well, not very enlightening. Primarily regurgitation of basic marxist principles with some bourgie apologists thrown in for good measure (aka "balance").

[Rooster]

Yeah, I heard that it wasn't very good but people on the board have been asking about the English version for ages.

[Railyon]

Yeah, good to see they finally got an English version but I wouldn't get my hopes up if you know a second thing about Marxism.

I see its value primarily in the propaganda region. You know, luring kids in your van with candy. Then again, it doesn't do such a good job of explaining our principles... at least not that I remember.

Can I download it anywhere?

Also for French/German speakers, this might be worth your time:

I actually think they must have made the English version at the same time as the French and German. The production company probably just couldn't get it shown on television in an English speaking country. This might be why they're now doing this.

I know nothing of that. :blink:

Seems like you're right; thought it was a for-TV production by the German/French bilingual TV station arte, but looks like I thought wrong:

Marx Reloaded is a 2011 German documentary film written and directed by the British writer and theorist Jason Barker.

Why everything has to be in London I don't live in London and I want to see. Any screaming will be in East Midlans?

I think from that article that they're planning on showing it around the UK. You can email the company and ask if you want.
