Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
New Zealand author, economist, and former politician Marilyn Waring offers her opinion on just about everything in this Canadian documentary profile. Waring is a strong woman with a keen take on the state of the world. Highlights include her views on the subjective, arbitrary truth underlying notions of "civilized" society. Most recently, Waring has focused on taking an unflinching, highly critical view of a world banking system that bases itself on war-making efforts while putting down the role of women in the world. The filmmakers then show ample examples to support her viewpoints.
