Creating Freedom: The Lottery of Birth (2013)

Creating Freedom: The Lottery of Birth (2013) is the riveting opening chapter in a thought-provoking tripartite documentary series dissecting the complex dynamics of freedom, power, and control in Western democracies. Through a rich tapestry of conversations with globally renowned intellectuals, journalists, and activists, the film presents an unconventional viewpoint on the society we inhabit and the future we are shaping. It challenges the notion of existence as a choice, arguing that our inception in life is characterized by our dependence on uncontrollable forces. The Lottery of Birth raises the curtain on a relentless psychological war waged from birth, where the battleground is our impressionable minds. This struggle is influenced by a myriad of forces - familial bonds, educational systems, cultural norms, and professional expectations. The film argues that the victor of this silent war not only molds our identity but also shapes the contours of the society we collectively construct. This introspective exploration of our origins invites the viewer to question and reevaluate the societal constructs that define our existence.

Creating Freedom: The Lottery of Birth is a documentary movie directed by Joshua van Praag.
