The Forgotten Space poster

Released in 2010, The Forgotten Space is a notable film directed by Noël Burch.

What it’s about. Details the catastrophic effects globalization has wrought on the ship, truck and train industries. We visit displaced farmers and villagers in Holland and Belgium, underpaid truck drivers in Los Angeles, seafarers aboard mega-ships shuttling between Asia and Europe, and factory workers in China, whose low wages are the fragile key to the whole puzzle. At a moment when collective bargaining rights are under attack in the United States, and China continues to bow to foreign pressures to prevent such rights from being granted at all, this film asks: Is capitalism the Trojan horse that turns on its inventors?

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.6/10, The Forgotten Space has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
