An examination of the real effects of globalization by people on six continents who advocate a halt to the ongoing multinationalization of the planet and a move toward more human-scale efforts, stressing localization instead. The filmmakers (who should probably have hired a narrator) point out that the explosion in big business and international banking has worsened every problem we face, from species extinction and unemployment to fundamentalism and ethnic conflict. And, as the title suggests, it has all made few inhabitants of the planet happy, unless you count CEOs and bankers, and their humanity is questionable.
