THRIVE – Movie Review, by Sergio Lub

My wife and I were part of a small group of networkers that gathered last
September in Santa Cruz to watch a preview of THRIVE, the documentary that
took Kimberly and Foster Gamble 8 years to make and features some of the
best thinkers of our generation.

Among cultural creatives, this movie has raised more expectations than any
other that I remember.  It has two trailers at www.ThriveMovement.com - and
a vast website of documentation to support and expand on the facts
mentioned in the movie.  The accumulated body of evidence is so large that
I heard people say “the movie is a trailer for the website.”

The expected deluge of traffic is such that a sophisticated international
network of servers in the US and abroad have been enlisted to prevent
crashing due to high volume or attempts to undermine the disclosure.

THRIVE was successfully launched around the world simultaneously and in
many languages on 11/11/11.  Its premiere was in the magnificent Craneway
Pavillion by Pt. Richmond's waterfront - www.craneway.com - This is the
converted historic factory where Rosie the Riveter worked making tanks
during WWII and showed a woman’s worth to the world with her iconic poster
Yes We Can!

Thrive Premiere 500 tickets sold out on September 9, two  hours after they
went on sale.

THRIVE the Movie

Going to this private showing I had a nagging suspicion that all this
secrecy and elaborate launching plans could be more hype than substance.  I
know Foster Gamble as a very conscious man, but how can a documentary be so
interesting?

Half way into the showing I understood what was happening, and a chill ran
up my spine.  This movie is exposing why we have wars, famines, poisoning
of our biosphere, junk foods, censorship of alternative energy sources,
suppression of meaningful education and institutional attacks on effective
natural remedies.

THRIVE allows us to clearly ascend the pyramid of power until reaching –
and bravely naming – the few at the top who control most of the world.

It goes on to expose their detailed plan and why they are doing it.  Driven
by a mentality of scarcity and fear that includes culling the population of
the world by reducing fertility, by covert sterilization, toxic food and
water and by wars of aggression - strategies that have been applied already
for decades.

Then I understood why THRIVE had to be kept secret until it needed to be
launched in such a big scale that it could no longer be contained.

When you are exposing people that have already killed millions with their
policies, you have to be not only very brave, but you must do it in such a
massive and well documented way that attacking the messenger may no longer
stop the truth.

Play it Forward

As a descendant of the founder of Procter and Gamble, Foster was groomed
since his youth to be a leader in the establishment, but he chose a
different path.  His wife Kimberly Carter Gamble, grew up close to Los
Angeles movie scene.  Neither of them had any illusions about showing
THRIVE through the normal distribution channels created for airing
Hollywood’s entertainment films and subject to the censorship of its
corporate interests.

They also wanted to reward their investors and produce a revenue stream
that would support the THRIVE movement and model radical global
transformation as a prosperous endeavor, hopefully inspiring others to do
similar work.
One aspect of their innovative approach is a partnership with Elevate’s
“PlayItForward,” an original idea based on a very human tendency.  If
people like a movie, they can gift it to their friends with a couple of
clicks and the recipients may in turn feel inclined to do the same, thus
“playing it forward.”  This novel feature is explained at
www.thrivemovement.com

Learning How to Thrive

The THRIVE team was committed to providing solutions that are a match to
the problems we face. The first and last of THRIVE’s four chapters are an
in-depth and detailed exploration  of solutions, the actions we can take,
as individuals and in large groups, in order to grow out of our present
predicament – to not only survive, but to thrive.

These solutions are all organized on the website, so you can just enjoy the
beautiful, compelling journey of the film, and after you have had a chance
to digest this incredible feast of knowledge, I believe you will be tempted
to work on the strategies for solutions, and thus add your shoulder to the
Thrive movement.
