America Boxed In (2021)
AMERICA BOXED IN is a documentary film about the "heart of the global economy"-the freight container. This mere metal box transformed the entire world into next-door neighbors and fostered extraordinary economic prosperity. At the same time, it has put a stunning number of unprecedented threats in the global spotlight. It has shifted the flow of power away from nations to forces that respect no borders. In so doing, it has engendered a never seen before struggle for power to every corner of the world. It has highlighted the seismic political divisions demonstrated by the historic Brexit and Trump votes that are now sweeping across the globe. And, it has supercharged China' global influence and helped them redraw the economic and political map of the 21st century. AMERICA BOXED IN is a story that exposes the profound contradictions that lie at the heart of globalization. Today, the container stands between two issues critical to 21st globalization. On the one hand is the issue of open market "freedom." On the other hand, is the issue of the defense of national "security." In between is globalization's "Pandora's Box."
