== Synopsis == |
|||
The topic of the film deals with neoliberal economics in the Balkans,<ref name="Novosti"/> and the story in the sequel continues where the first part ended, covering the timeline from 2000. to the present.<ref>[http://www.novosti.rs/vesti/kultura.71.html:386313-Boris-Malagurski-Zelim-da-radim-u-Srbiji Boris Malagurski: Želim da radim u Srbiji] Novosti</ref> |

The film also discusses the effects of the reforms on all aspects of life in the former Yugoslavia, from politics, economics, military, culture and education to the media. "Through stories of robbed and sold off companies, corrupt politicians, fictional tribunals, destructive foreign investors and various economic-military alliances, the new film deconstructs modern myths about everything we've been told will bring us a better live", Malagurski told [[Tanjug]].<ref>[http://www.tanjug.rs/novosti/161646/premijera-dokumentarca-tezina-lanaca-2-31--januara.htm The premiere of The Weight of Chains 2 on January 31] Tanjug.rs</ref> |

"The Weight of Chains 2" talks about how shock-economy based on the [[Washington Consensus]] lead many countries, according to the author, to the edge of existence. Malagurski provides what he believes to be evidence of this in Serbia, but also brings to light the examples of [[Argentina]] and [[Iceland]] which confronted what Malagurski described as the "neoliberal dictate" and are better off today.<ref name="Vesti">http://m.vesti-online.com/Dijaspora/drzava/Nemacka/Vesti/459852/Buntom-protiv-lanaca</ref> |
