The Edukators

This German feature film, follows three Berliners, who have become frustrated with the inequities in the Global Capitalist system. They start breaking into the mansions and villas of the extremely wealthy, rearrange their furniture and leave simple messages like

"Your Days of Plenty Are Numbered. The Edukators."

By doing so, they believe that their ability to break into these seemingly secure homes, would make their victims less comfortable inside their mansions. The film has an interesting plot twist involving one of these victims.

I personally subscribe to an "enlightened" form of capitalism, and did not necessarily agree with "The Edukators" views or methods. But I found their idealism refreshing and inspiring. Plus those shots of the German countryside and mountains are fantastic.

Great flick to watch over Thansgiving, I highly recommend it. Rent it from your locally owned video store, buy it, or Netflix it.
