FOUR HORSEMEN: An Award Winning INDY FEATURE Documentary Lifting Lid on How the World Works

Published on Sep 13, 2013

"FOUR HORSEMEN" is an award winning independent feature documentary which lifts the lid on how the world really works.

As we will never return to 'business as usual' 23 international thinkers, government advisors and Wall Street money-men break their silence and explain how to establish a moral and just society.

FOUR HORSEMEN is free from mainstream media propaganda -- the film doesn't bash bankers, criticise politicians or get involved in conspiracy theories. It ignites the debate about how to usher a new economic paradigm into the world which would dramatically improve the quality of life for billions.

"It's Inside Job with bells on, and a frequently compelling thesis thanks to Ashcroft's crack team of talking heads -- economists, whistleblowers and Noam Chomsky, all talking with candour and clarity." - Total Film

"Four Horsemen is a breathtakingly composed jeremiad against the folly of Neo-classical economics and the threats it represents to all we should hold dear."





- Harold Crooks, The Corporation (Co-Director) Surviving Progress (Co-Director/Co-Writer)

Celebrity Chefs, sex, sports, and how we're not on the god standard. It's wagging it's finger at how "we're" being lulled into complacency, and for good points made mention of the inventor of the internet.

Are the Ashcrofts listed in the credit's and writer/director related to John Ashcroft?

...and want to pay back their debts at all costs"....so we said "what a bunch of suckers...we can eat them for breakfast...and they will gladly make us fatter...they will pay our debts ....and continue to vote us into office."

No wonder the 1% cry for attention from the outside in...they sure as hell don't want to look inside their own dark souls. That's a very creepy place.

"I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me & the financial institutions at the rear, the latter is my greatest foe……

Corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in the hands of a few, & the Republic is destroyed." -Abraham Lincoln,

Hopefully others will find the link and watch even though it's dropped off Front Page of V&MM.

THANKS MUCH! to those who thought it worth the watch. I hesitated to post because of the length of it...but, glad folks found it worthwhile.
