This film is telling about people making their own money.
Synopsis
For decades now, many scholars and experts have been warning that the seemingly infinite growth may be limited. Today, as these limits have been reached or partly even exceeded, the warnings seem to be heeded slowly but surely.
In POLYPOLY some of these experts, among them Prof. Dr. Margrit Kennedy, Helmut Creutz and many others, explain why it has been predictable for decades what we now have got before us – a global collapse of the financial and banking system, which will take other areas down with it.
POLYPOLY deliberately tells the story of people who have already found a solution to the problem and who have also put that solution into practice. It is the story of people who have set up a currency of their own.
Around the world, millions of people have been able to demonstrate how well closed monetary cycles and self-made currencies that have been put into circulation work. This simple solution hands back control over money to the people who own it.
POLYPOLY accompanies a group of fulltime activists from Köthen in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt as it introduces the “Lutzetaler”, the Kinderbank Hamburg as it creates the “Abenteuergeld”, and the Geheimagentur, which set up the Schwarzbank and issued “Kohle” to all citizens.
In addition, representatives of Banco Palmas from Brazil explain how outstandingly successful their own social currency has been since its introduction 14 years ago, and how they built a well-functioning community from scratch.
POLYPOLY intends to encourage people to look at the topic of money from a completely different perspective. Such an approach would give everyone the opportunity not to fall victim to a global collapse, but to regain control over an uncontrollable system.
