Our economy is failing people and the planet—so what comes next?
Outgrow the System explores how we can move beyond extractive capitalism and build an economy rooted in justice, sustainability, and collective well-being. Beyond mainstream debates, new ideas and grassroots movements are already proving that another way is possible. This film envisions how we can organize around bold, transformative alternatives.
