Outgrow The Sytem - documentary on sustainable economic transition

‘Change the system, not the climate’ is a common demand in the climate movement. But what kind of system do we actually want?

Outgrow the System (2023) explores how we can design an economic system that genuinely manages our scarce resources. Beyond the narrow mainstream debate and the teachings of business schools, numerous new economic ideas and practices are emerging. They challenge old assumptions and offer fresh perspectives on how we can reorganise our production and consumption, in order to ensure our survival as a species on this planet. Outgrow the System (2023) aims to bring these transformative ideas to the forefront, with over 100 screenings spanning more than 25 countries, across 6 continents. It celebrates the abundance of creativity and ideas that exist worldwide, urging them to collide and converge. The film envisions a world where social movements worldwide can rally behind positive visions instead of merely opposing dystopias.

With this film, and the discussion afterwards, we seek to democratise the conversation around the economy, ecology and democracy. Economics should be a topic accessible to all, not confined to experts. Come and be empowered to engage in discussions about economic models and to foster hope that change is not only possible, but already underway.
