The Basic Income concept is a hot topic at the moment. By some considered as utopist, by others as a solution to many problems. The film gives a complete overview and is a perfect conversation starter. What would you do if your income were taken care of?
Just a few years ago, an unconditional basic income was considered a pipe dream. Today, this utopia is more imaginable than ever before – intense discussions are taking place in all political and scientific camps.
