An intense visual odyssey filmed over three years in eight countries. From the explosive riot days in Genoa 2001 to 7000$ sex dolls in the US, Surplus explores the destructive nature of consumer culture. Against a familiar backdrop of cynical world leaders, corporate captains and Microsoft fanatics the film focuses on the controversial anti-globalization guru John Zerzan, whose call for property damage has inspired many to take to the streets. Stunning editing and breathtaking cinematography turns the notion that 20% of the world is gobbling up 80% of its resources from pure statistics into an overwhelming emotional experience.
