The Documentary Inequality for all is dubbed as one of the top 5 economic documentaries. I have watched it many times and I suggest you watch it. The film examines the increasing income inequality in America and its affects on government and the economy and its existence. It is presented by Robert Reich, a economist and professor at Berkeley. The film begins talking about the 2008 recession and the occupy wall street movement and stresses how the U.S economy doubled, but the profits and gains went to the top 1% which take in more than 20% of the national income. One of the most astounding facts it presents is that the richest 400 americans own more wealth than the bottom 150,000,000 americans, half our population. The film connects how our wealth distribution is equal to the 1920s and how the great depression is similar too the 2008 recession. The film also discusses how it poses a serious threat to all americans.
