Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out NY answers our call for TIFF doc picks and poses an interesting question: Has there ever been an anti-capitalist movie? Please discuss.

Rothkopf writes:

Unlike most Americans, I will be seeing Michael Moore's CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY for free. Should I be ashamed of that fact? Is this actually an anticapitalism movie? (It would be the first.)

End-of-the-world scenarios excite me. Sometimes I think I'd do okay as a hardy survivor. COLLAPSE  (pictured), from filmmaker Chris Smith, explores a bunch of scary what-ifs. Plus, it's a world premiere.

Come on: The doc is called SCHMATTA: RAGS TO RICHES TO RAGS. How could this not be mandatory viewing for my tribe? Seriously, the Garment District fascinates me; I walk through it daily to go to work.

[Speaking of SCHMATTA, see the Aug 20th New York Times article about the garment industry, reflecting what a timely film this is.- TP]
