ITEM OVERVIEW
A bicycle caravan - with the theme, "Money or Life" - travels 500 miles across Europe to join protests in Prague against the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.Ê The goal is to create a mobile utopian community which will be a living counter-example to the values of these powerful financial institutions.Ê The landscape is beautiful, and bicycles possess their own poetry.Ê But it's not always easy functioning without money. ÊThe authorities have their own ideas about policing the intersection of utopia and everyday life.Ê And should the caravan succeed in getting to Prague, there's the matter of shutting down the World Bank/IMF meeting...
Caravan/Prague, a feature-length documentary, is a first-hand account of this journey and the historic 2000 Prague protests. ÊFilmmaker Zack Winestine rode the entire trip with the caravan, filming from his bicycle as events unfolded. ÊHe recounts his hopes, fears, and questions, conveying the experience of participating in a community trying to bring about change that is both visionary and concrete.
DVDÊextras include an extended scene, trailer, and a DVD-Rom feature with extensive information about economic globalization. ÊAlso included isÊQuebec: At the Wall, a short film about the 2001 FTAA protests in Quebec City.
