Ethos is a 2011 documentary film directed and written by Pete McGrain and hosted by Woody Harrelson. The main point of the film is to encourage people to engage in ethical consumerism.
The film uses many video interview segments from other films at length, including the Zeitgeist movies and, predominantly, The Corporation.
Hosted by twice Oscar nominated actor and activist Woody Harrelson, Ethos lifts the lid on a Pandora’s box of systemic issues that guarantee failure in almost every aspect of our lives; from the environment to democracy and our own personal liberty: from terrifying conflicts of interests in politics to unregulated corporate power, to a media in the hands of massive conglomerates, and a military industrial complex that virtually owns our representatives. With interviews from some of today’s leading thinkers and source material from the finest documentary film makers of our times Ethos examines and unravels these complex relationships, and offers a solution, a simple but powerful way for you to change this system.
There are 70 films with the same actors, 8962 with the same cinematographic genres, 8199 films with the same themes (including 515 films with the same 3 themes than Ethos), to have finally 70 suggestions of similar films.

The film traces the events of 2007 when local radio station KLSD in San Diego, California, owned by radio giant Clear Channel Communications, decided to alter the programming from progressive talk radio to sports talk. Local activists hold protest rallies and try to persuade the owners to keep the liberal format, the only outlet for liberal talk in the San Diego market. At the time the station was being considered for the change, it ranked #1 in time spent listening and had a growing market share. It also explores the history of media and broadcast regulation, the move to deregulate, and the impact from deregulation that allowed for what the filmmakers consider to be unprecedented consolidation, to the point where a majority of all media (radio, TV, newspapers, magazines, and internet) are controlled by just five major corporations.
