-==Synopsis==
-The film begins and ends with excerpts from a speech by [[Jiddu Krishnamurti]]. The remainder of the film is narrated by Peter Joseph and divided into four parts,<ref>[http://www.moonlightingcorp.com/smhrfj/index.php?option=com_seyret&task=videodirectlink&Itemid=67&id=20 ''Zeitgeist: Addendum''] at the Sarasota – Manatee Hebraic Roots Forum, accessed January 31, 2011</ref> each prefaced by an on-screen quotation from a notable scholar: Krishnamurti, [[John Adams]], [[Bernard Lietaer]], and [[Thomas Paine]], respectively.
-===Part I===
-Part One states that money is the most corrosive societal tradition and explains the monetary system and its policies in the [[United States]] through the [[fractional reserve banking]] system as illustrated in the book, "Modern Money Mechanics".  In clarifying, Part One explains how [[money creation]] as an exchange between the government and the central bank ([[Federal Reserve]] in the U.S.), creates a perpetual cycle of [[interest]] and [[inflation]], summarizing that money and debt are necessarily correlated and increasing.
-===Part II===
-Part Two shares an interview with [[John Perkins (author)|John Perkins]], author of ''[[Confessions of an Economic Hitman]]'', who said he was involved in the subjugation of [[Latin American]] economies by multinational corporations, including the United States government's involvement in the overthrow and installation of various Latin American heads-of-state.
-===Part III===
-Part Three introduces [[Jacque Fresco]] and [[the Venus Project]], and it asserts a need to move away from current socioeconomic paradigms.
-Fresco states that capitalism perpetuates the conditions it claims to address, as problems are only solved if there is money to be made, and if more money can be made by propagating the problem rather than solving it, the problem will be propagated.
-===Part IV===
- The final statement of the film is to boycott the most powerful banks in the Federal Reserve System, the major news networks (CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, etc.), the military, energy corporations, and the so-called "democratic" political system; and to join, support, and proliferate [[The Zeitgeist Movement]].
-==Reception==
-===Award===
-''Zeitgeist: Addendum'' won the 2008 [[Artivist Film Festival & Awards|Artivist Film Festival]]'s award for ''best feature'' ("Artivist Spirit" category).<ref>{{cite web|title=The Artivist Awards|url=http://artivist.com/the-artivist-awards-3/|publisher=Artivist Film Festival|accessdate=2014-01-18|year=2008|quote=Best Feature – Artivist Spirit: “Zeitgeist: Addendum“ directed by Peter Joseph}}</ref>
-===Audience response===

-===Critical response===
-Alan Feuer of ''[[The New York Times]]'' summarized the film as "a utopian presentation of a money-free and computer-driven vision of the future, a wholesale reimagination of civilization"…likening it to the works of [[Karl Marx]], [[Carl Sagan]], and [[John Lennon]]. He quoted director Joseph's summary as simply "the application of the scientific method for social change." Feuer also noted that while the previous film was famous for its alleging that the attacks of September 11 were an inside job, the second installment "was all but empty of such conspiratorial notions, directing its rhetoric and high production values toward posing a replacement for the evils of the banking system and a perilous economy of scarcity and debt."<ref name="Alan Feuer"/>
-Film critic Bill Stamets for the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' characterized Joseph's source materials as "disparate," writing: "At times, Peter Joesph skirts with esoterica. Never as kooky as 'visionaries' [[Lyndon LaRouche]] and [[L. Ron Hubbard]], he nonetheless partakes in science worship, sci-fi mind-slavery metaphors, and a global banking obsessions [sic]."<ref name="Bill Stamets">{{cite news | url=http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/movies/3245249-421/hogancamp-marwencol-zeitgeist-dolls-films.html?print=true | title=Art-house films: ‘Marwencol,’ ‘Zeitgeist’ | accessdate=March 7, 2011 | author=Bill Stamets | date=February 15, 2011 | publisher=[[Chicago Sun-Times]]}}</ref>
