Everybody knows that Woody has been a posterboy for the legalization of marijuana, but he is also an activist for the environment, human rights and a supporter of the 9/11 Truth Movement. He has supported reopening an investigation into the September 11 terrorist attacks along with other truthers, including Martin Sheen and Ed Asner, he appears in a movie, September Morn, that will promote such views. Harrelson self-identifies as an anarchist. He hosts Ethos, the documentary which explores the mechanisms in our systems that work against democracy, the environment and our own personal liberty. From conflicts of interests in politics and unregulated corporate power, to a news media that serves the interests of powerful elites; ETHOS explores the systems that lead us into over consumption and warfare. Too often the media celebrates aspects of our society that belong in the dark ages, while at the same time ignoring or ridiculing progressive thinking or ideas. Many aspects of the way our systems work almost guarantee our destruction as a society and thats what this film is about. Fractured societies, poverty, disparity, pollution, warfare. Is there something inherently wrong with the human race? Is that what we should think of ourselves? ~ Tom Retterbush MUST WATCH Ethos (2011) Buyer Beware, hosted by Woody Harrelson, which blows the lid off our corrupt system. bit.ly/15HBun1
