What is Free Lunch Society about? Toggle content

Imagine a world where your basic needs are taken care of, without having to work for it. No more worries about making ends meet, no more stress about paying bills. A world where you can pursue your passions, take risks, and live life to the fullest. This is the vision of a universal basic income, a concept that is rapidly gaining attention and support across the globe. In this documentary, filmmaker Christian Tod embarks on a journey to explore the possibility of a world without poverty, where every individual receives a guaranteed income. He delves into the history of this idea, from its origins in science fiction to its current status as a hot topic in political and economic discussions. Tod travels to various countries, including the United States, Canada, Namibia, and Switzerland, to see firsthand how trial systems are faring. He interviews experts and everyday people, seeking answers to the big questions: What would happen if we didn't have to work to survive? Would people still work? Would crime rates decrease? Would people be happier? The film offers a comprehensive look at the pros and cons of a universal basic income and raises important questions about the future of humanity. With the rise of automation and artificial intelligence threatening jobs, this documentary asks: Is it time to rethink our economic systems and embrace a future where everyone can live with dignity? Join the conversation and discover the possibilities of a world where money is no longer an obstacle to pursuing your dreams. "Free Lunch Society" is a thought-provoking exploration of a future that could be within our grasp.
