About The Rating Generation: Why Everything Has to Be Scored | ENDEVR Documentary

The Five-Star Society: How Ratings Took Over Our Lives | ENDEVR Documentary After exiting a cab, a restaurant, a hotel, or a train, or following the delivery of a package or an exchange with a customer service representative, it’s always the same request: please provide a rating. Whether it's a 1 to 10 scale ask or the ubiquitous 1 to 5 - star review, it’s quick, machine-like, and painless for the person providing the rating. Behind these seemingly benign requests, lurks a biased labor monitoring system fueled directly by the customer, unbeknownst to us. Added to this is a multitude of invisible ratings which serve as raw material for algorithms used by secretive companies that claim to be able to predict the future. The film takes a critical look at the “democratization” of rating systems and the consequences of this practice in our personal lives and for our collective freedoms. This documentary first aired in 2022. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ENDEVR explains the world we live in through high-class documentaries, special investigations, explainer videos, and animations.

Inside the World’s Most Unusual Kingdom | Bhutan | ENDEVR Documentary

The Country That Tried to Stop Modernity | Bhutan: Life in a Strange Kingdom | ENDEVR Documentary This film explores the dynasty’s rule while also taking a look at the youthful counterculture movement which has emerged since the country’s exposure to the internet. Hidden away in the Himalayan foothills, Bhutan is a country reputed for its exquisite natural beauty and the importance its people place on individual happiness. The Bhutanese’s acute environmental awareness has made it the only carbon-negative country in the world. To many, the small nation seems like a model for the rest of the world. But behind this idyllic façade, there lies a more sinister reality. Buddhism is the only religion the Wangchuck dynasty, which has ruled the country for the last century, tolerates. This ultra-conservative regime is closely intertwined with the Buddhist faith. The flocks of millionaires and Hollywood stars who arrive in Bhutan to work on their karma can only be accommodated thanks to the toil of terribly paid workers. This documentary originally aired in 2020. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ENDEVR explains the world we live in
