Description

Aiming to do for the economy what “An Inconvenient Truth” did for the environment, this engrossing documentary offers an engaging and playful examination into the causes and consequences of the widening income gap in America. Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich acts as an affable tour guide through the current US economy, showing how the 400 wealthiest individuals came to own half of the country’s total assets, and the risks of continuing down the path we’re currently on. With a deft and humorous touch, he breaks down the complex issues our country faces to show what’s happening to the disappearing middle class, and what we can do about it. In Person: Director Jacob Kornbluth; Robert Reich.
