Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, stars in a new documentary,
Inequality for All, about growing economic disparities in the U.S. The full hour and one-half
version is available for rental on YouTube.
The video premiered at the Sundance Festival earlier this year...
If you have the former Secretary of Labor on a film, and the director of the film ask a bank for a loan. I am sure they might be able to get a loan. Their credit might be better than most people. If it's a service that they are providing the public why not make the movie first and THEN after their profits see if they still need donations. I don't think many people need a film to tell them how unequal the system is. They also state that they want Republicans, Democrats and Independents to understand the economical disparity in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteI believe that all three parties understand however that does not mean they want to change. And there will never be a compromise. Republicans want Big Business, Democrats want what we call Socialism and Independents just want to be left alone. It is a good pitch. However I does sound like a political campaign for the middle class's few dollars. Josue Castro
I find a bit of irony involved. This is a clip that has a professor teaching about the state of economy, asking broke college kids for donations.
ReplyDeleteI mean, the video is 2:26 long. At 1:07, they start breaking down the costs of the proposed film and begin asking for money. That's not even halfway in. I would be curious to see the video though. But I digress, I am just another college kid (soon to be grad in 40k student loan debt) that can't afford it.
