Decadence: Decline of the Western World (2011)

Plot

Throughout history, civilizations have experienced cycles of ascent and decline. For three centuries, the Judeo-Christian West has held the position of the leading civilization globally. But where does it stand today? Many have speculated about its potential downfall, and now signs are emerging. With declining birth rates, an aging populace, crippling debt, and significant immigration, the West appears to indulge recklessly, love fleetingly, and exist aimlessly. "Decadence," a thought-provoking essay-style documentary, explores whether the West has reached its zenith and is on the brink of either a transformative renaissance or a descent into a final dark age.
