The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales is a documentary film directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and philanthropist Abigail Disney. The film takes a critical look at the current state of the American economy and the growing wealth inequality that is affecting millions of Americans. Using her own family's story as a backdrop, Disney explores the systemic injustices and policies that have contributed to the consolidation of wealth and power in the hands of a few at the expense of the many.
The film features interviews with economists, policy experts, and ordinary Americans struggling to make ends meet in an economy that seems rigged against them. Disney also examines the role that corporations and the government have played in perpetuating inequality, as well as the impact of globalization and the erosion of labor protections on workers in America.
By weaving together personal stories with data and analysis, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales offers a compelling critique of the American economic system and proposes concrete solutions for a more equitable future. Disney argues that the American Dream is a myth for most Americans and calls for systemic change to level the playing field and create a more just society for all.
Overall, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales is a thought-provoking and powerful documentary that sheds light on the urgent need for economic justice in America.
