New Zealand anti-artist Jack Carden posited, in the distinctive style of a BBC Documentary, the moral ethics of returning a grocery shopping cart while dramatically wheeling said cart across a variety of challenging terrains

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test of whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return a shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which is recognized as the correct, appropriate thing to do. ... It is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart, therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.

Carden stated that this wasn't an easy video to make.
