About Economist Films

What do the jobs of tomorrow look like? Can you make meat without animals? Will startups take us to the stars? What’s the best way to regulate drugs? What if malaria drugs stop working? What does the future hold? Economist Films makes short, mind-stretching documentaries that examine big global themes. Each one combines analysis, on-the-ground reporting and a dash of humour to capture the essence of The Economist, the leading current-affairs newspaper, in video form.

Download the app and tune in to gain a broader understanding of the forces shaping the future. Available to view:

”Daily Watch” : Mind-stretching short films every day of the working week.

Stellar

W70%
by W####:

I love this app but gave it four stars because it does not have the ability to choose the streaming setting eg. 720p, 480p, 144p. Not everyone's internet connection is excellent. Also the ability to resume videos from the point you last watched would be good along with a save video option
