there are loads of movies, audio and written material accessible to mass public shouting on the bad globalization, ugly politics etc, etc never going into detail, never explaining what does it actually mean, how we've come to this point and what were the reasons.

This is not that kind of movie. It goes deeper to the beginning of so called globalization in the most analytical detail as i've seen so far. Pilger took one specific country (Indonesia) and went back to 60's where it all started. Asking brave, direct questions to each side involved and getting back different views on the topic. And here you can see that none can bear the responsibility of the system, every corporation, every government can account for a tiny little part of the "evil" therefore stay virtually clean.

I've heard people don't like these kind of movies cause they don't give you any hint on solutions. They shouldn't give. They are to make you think , to make you aware. And nevertheless it teaches people to recognize professional, analytical documentaries (or interview essays in this case) like this one from manipulative, shouting peaces of garbage that flood the public knowledge.

It's a shame that this is the first comment on a this movie which is 7 years old by now.

The saddest thing about The New Rulers Of The World is that the vast majority of us will not be surprised by anything we see. We know how manipulated we are, we know the slave labour taking place worldwide, we know just how badly our governments are screwing us over! But what are we supposed to do? These events transpire because the powers that be know this, know that we can't and we won't do anything about it despite theoretically possessing the vast majority of power being the "99%" Little was news to me so though not eye opening it was certainly still hard hitting as Pilgers documentaries always are.

Sadly this one wasn't fantastically well made and it damages the message but regardless is one that deserves your time even if it is heart crushingly sobering.
