In a modern take of Miguel de Unamuno's 1930's novel "San Martín Bueno, martir", where a priest loses faith in god, "Times of Insurrection" tells the story of the CEO of a global corporation who starts to lose faith in capitalism after a mysterious external pressure forces him to change his company forever. In this slick short film, we witness the CEO of a dairy corporation cause a great deal ofdiscomfort and uneasiness in his annual shareholder’s meeting by talking about things that are‘just not discussed’. Things like: corporate responsibility and environmental impact. It might beokay to talk about these things…but will he do anything? It’s fun to watch this scenario play outand to see how nervous it makes the shareholders. Enjoy the uneasiness for a while.
