In today’s video we’re taking a look at a long-forgotten documentary about Amway and Network TwentyOne that was so shocking that Amway actually filed a lawsuit and had the film banned from being shown for over 12 years. Amway is the largest, and most problematic, in my opinion, MLM scams (ahem … pyramid schemes) in the world. During this documentary you’ll hear Amway reps claim that you’ll become a millionaire in Amway, that you don’t have to think or be intelligent to do “network marketing”, that watching the news is bad because it’s a “negative influence” … among MANY other outrageous things. I hope that by discussing this documentary now that we’ll give it a little bit more of the publicity that it definitely deserved over 20 years ago!
This documentary is in Polish, but don’t worry! I’ve roped in GMSkeptic to help me overdub it into English!
