What if you received a monthly check, no strings attached, sufficient to cover your basic needs?

Imagine a world where financial stress is a relic of the past and you receive a steady, unconditional stream of income, opening doors to new possibilities and dreams. This is the promise of UBI—a bold, transformative idea that redefines our relationship with the economy, work, society and the environment. Our documentary aims to unravel the layers of UBI, exploring its potential to uplift lives and reshape societies - worldwide.

Join us on a cinematic journey to discover how a simple, yet profound, shift in the economics of daily life could ignite a global revolution in well-being by providing economic stability as a right, not a privilege. We already successfully funded our first crowdfunding campaign through Kickstarter which we can use to realize the first steps of the production process - going to some UBI-pilot programs in Africa and/or India. Read everything about this project on the website.

In the spirit of UBI, the realization of 'Not That Basic' is community-driven. The project invites supporters from all corners of the globe to contribute to bringing this vital story to the screen. Every contribution brings us a step closer to a broader understanding of UBI’s potential.
