Description:
This documentary explores how Sigmund Freud’s ideas continue to influence us today, especially in advertising, consumer culture, and politics. It shows how his theories have become deeply ingrained in our thinking, often without us realizing it. Featuring interviews and real-world examples, the film examines Freud's concepts and their enduring impact on modern life. By examining our desires, sense of self, and power structures, this documentary prompts viewers to question the hidden ways Freud’s legacy shapes our world.
