"Affluenza" on Link TV
http://www.worldlinktv.org/programming/programDescription.php4?code=affluenza



Affluenza
Length: 01:00 Type of program: Documentary Broadcast Times

Thursday, November 186:00 AM
Thursday, November 1812:00 PM
Friday, November 195:00 PM

Through revealing personal stories, expert commentary, hilarious old film clips, dramatized vignettes, and "anti-commercial" breaks, AFFLUENZA examines the high cost of achieving the most extravagant lifestyle the world has ever seen. Last year, Americans, who make up only five percent of the world's population, used nearly a third of its resources and produced almost half of its hazardous waste. Add overwork, personal stress, the erosion of family and community, skyrocketing debt, and the growing gap between rich and poor, and it's easy to understand why some people say that the American Dream is no bargain.
Many are opting out of the consumer chase, redefining the Dream, and making "voluntary simplicity" one of the top 10 trends of the '90s. AFFLUENZA travels across the country to show you men and women who are working and shopping less, spending more time with friends and family, volunteering in their communities, and enjoying their lives more.
