Here is a documentary which could shed more light on the issues Non-US countries face with TPP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0LOwmwgkdA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0LOwmwgkdA I researched some of the issues they mention, and so far the film makes some excellent points.

The article is about TPP, and this video is about TTIP. Slightly different, as one covers the Pacific, the other the Atlantic.

  Geographically it sounds a correct statement. But those agreements all have a common agenda -- don't think about geography, but about the common agenda behind it. We are living in the era of globalization and one of the reasons for such treaties is, that the geographical differences should vanish. Of course it is not about the same agreement -- but this video sheds a light about all those agreements.

    Ok, lets just never have another trade agreement in the history of the world. That should do it. Clearly all of them are bad. We can prove it because some of them are bad.

      There is enough prove around, that these treaties with the US all contain the same bullshit again and again.

Shit, that video is not available in my country (Netherlands) While a dutch publicly funded broadcasting agency created it. There are other means of viewing this documentary, but why bar the international version for dutch viewers :S

  Generally speaking they do this so you have to watch the video through the publishers own video streaming service in your own country.

  It is probably the translated version of the Dutch original, which, of course, is available in the Netherlands: http://tegenlicht.vpro.nl/afleveringen/2015-2016/ttip.html http://tegenlicht.vpro.nl/afleveringen/2015-2016/ttip.html

I'm just starting to watch it and it's already trying to manipulate me by talking about child labour and slavery, and giving an example of the terrible things enabled by NAFTA: a lawsuit that it's not even been decided on yet. It's not even good propaganda, let alone an informative case against trade agreements.

  It did raise some issues I was not aware of, for example Canada is one of the most sued countries. Also, some pending cases and the arbitration involved is quite appalling. I don't think it is unbiased, but it certainly does shed some light on important issues (to Canadians anyway).
