Four Horsemen

While wealth and power belong to an ever-decreasing circle of individuals, poverty and corresponding social unrest is on the rise. When did the financial system jump the track? In the Bible, four horsemen signal the dawn of the apocalypse, in FOUR HORSEMEN, they are the symbols of a fraudulent financial world full of organised violence, the depletion of natural resources and increasing impoverishment. Filmmaker Ross Ashcroft put 23 experts from the fields of economics and science in front of the camera and asked each of them for answers, ideas and visions. What influence do academic and economic opinion leaders have on the global economy? What’s going wrong with the distribution of resources? And how can today’s social system effect positive change? This compelling film demonstrates the necessity to question the structures and mechanisms of our economy.
