The film is a hard-hitting investigation of the 1% at its very worst. This full-length documentary film is the latest from acclaimed director Robert Greenwald.
The billionaire Koch brothers bankroll a vast network of organizations that work to undermine the interests of the 99% on issues ranging from Social Security to the environment to civil rights.
Koch Brothers Exposed uncovers the Kochs' corruption and points the way to how Americans can reclaim their democracy.

At the same time, all around the world people are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance—and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.
We hear from a chorus of voices from six continents including Samdhong Rinpoche, the Prime Minister of Tibet's government in exile, Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, David Korten and Zac Goldsmith. They tell us that climate change and peak oil give us little choice: we need to localize, to bring the economy home. The good news is that as we move in this direction we will begin not only to heal the earth but also to restore our own sense of well-being. The Economics of Happiness
restores our faith in humanity and challenges us to believe that it is possible to build a better world.
YES! Magazine is a co-sponsor of the Economics of Happiness global tour.
