#039 TO BEAT OR JOIN THE SYSTEM
This Impakt Channel program is based on the Panorama Screening "To Beat or Join the System" that was part of the Impakt Festival 2012
Even the establishment is a temporary concept. The systems that keep the economy and society in one piece are always challenged by other ideas or alternatives. Total anarchy or a new system, a serious explanation of the economic crisis or an absurdist fiction – this program provides no answers whatsoever.
