On Monday, February 13, the BDC will present a screening of The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales, a documentary by filmmakers Abigail E. Disney and Kathleen Hughes. A Q&A with the filmmakers moderated by Joshua Freeman, Distinguished Professor of History at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, will follow.
In this feature-length documentary, The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales filmmaker and philanthropist Abigail Disney reexamines the story of modern American capitalism from the middle of the last century, when wealth was shared more equitably, to today, when CEO’s earn upwards of 800 times more than their average employees. What happened? What Abigail learns - about racism, corporate power and the American Dream, is eye-opening, unexpected, and inspiring in that it begins to imagine a path to a fairer future for everyone.
