Owned & Operated is a mosaic of the world through the lens of the internet. Showing our lives as consumers, under the thumbs of privileged individuals and their methods of control. But the world is awakening, and the experience is something outside the normal rules of social interaction, causing excitement in those who are not served by the current system... and fear in those who are pampered by it.
This documentary attempts to present these events using the video, audio and written content uploaded to the internet by the collective human consciousness comprised of every individual participant.
Oh yes, change is coming... and it will be more dramatic than anybody can imagine.

This s a not-for-profit project, but we're attempting to use the film as a springboard to bring together other activist minded creative professionals and build a community online that fosters the development of resources needed for individuals to create higher quality awareness minded media projects in the future.

... from the movie:
“If a man has an apartment, stacked to the ceiling with newspapers, we call him crazy. If a woman has a trailer house full of cats, we call her nuts. But when people pathologically hoard so much cash that they impoverish an entire nation, we put them on the cover of Fortune Magazine and pretend that they're role models.” ~ B. Lester
Last year in India, the top hedge fund owners got personal renumerations of 3 billion each in one single year.
In America, the top 400 people have more than the bottom 150 million combined.
(Noa, we can't post and "embedded" version of a YouTube. We have to copy the title, paste it in the search box on the YouTube page & then, when it comes up, select it & use that url to post it.)
I thought that's what I did -- it's how I post all the Youtube videos... but regardless, I'm grateful for your post.
It's one of the better movies I've seen this year.
I'd love to hear everyone's comments about it.
