Screening of: Heist

Join us for an inspiring evening with a screening of HEIST,
the explosive documentary about the roots of the American economic crisis,
which are traced back to a 1971 secret memo entitled Attack on American Free
Enterprise System written by future Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell. HEIST
exposes the systemic implementation of Powell’s memo by both U.S. political
parties over the last forty years culminating in the deregulation of industry,
outsourcing of jobs and regressive taxation. Featuring experts such as United
Steelworkers President Leo Gerard, HEIST also highlights the attack on labor
and the ongoing class warfare against working and middle class Americans.


Moving beyond the white noise of today’s polarizing media,
HEIST provides viewers with a clear, fact-based explanation of the crisis, and
what we need to do to restore representative democracy. Features a panel discussion
with HEIST filmmaker Donald Goldmacher & labor activist and author Steve
Early.
