The Light Bulb Conspiracy
Watch TrailerOnce upon a time... consumer goods were built to last. Then, in the 1920’s, a group of businessmen realized that the longer their product lasted, the less money they made, thus Planned Obsolescence was born, and manufacturers have been engineering products to fail ever since. Combining investigative research and rare archive footage with analysis by those working on ways to save both the economy and the environment, this documentary charts the creation of ‘engineering to fail’, its rise to prominence and its recent fall from grace.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Documentary about a subject that matters but rarely gets an honest look. The director doesn't pretend to be neutral — rightly so. Neutrality on important subjects is cowardice.
Slow, detailed, without sensation. Not for those wanting impressions — for those wanting to understand.
For those who want to understand a subject, not just hear about it. Entertainment content fans — wrong place.
Director: Cosima Dannoritzer
