the movie

"Focuses on suppressed historical & modern information about currently dominant social institutions, while also exploring what could be in store for humanity if the power structures at large continue their patterns of self-interest, corruption, and consolidation"--Http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/statement.htmPart I, The greatest story ever told: Denounces the originality of many world religions, arguing they are mainly derived from astrological myths and traditions established long before them. Also argues that the historical Jesus is a fictional creation, nurtured in the interest of political controlPart II, All the world's a stage: Asserts that the events of September 11th were either orchestrated by, or allowed to happen by, elements within the United States government. This was done in order to generate mass fear, initiate and justify the War on Terror, provide a pretext for the denial of civil liberties to the general public, and produce economic gainPart III, Don' t mind the men behind the curtain: Explores the history of the Federal Reserve bank, asserting that they engineered the Great Depression and every American war of the 20th century in order to enrich the international banking community. Also explores the possibility that there is a clandestine movement to merge the United States, Canada and Mexico into a North American Union that uses a single currency, in hopes of eventually creating one world government
