Breaking Inequality

Breaking Inequality (2013)

How to view: Free on Youtube

Director/Producer: Belligerent Politics
Produced | Country: USA
Run Time: 30 min | Language: English

Synopsis: Breaking Inequality is a documentary film about the corruption between Washington and Wall Street that has resulted in the largest inequality gap in the history of America. It exposes the truth behind the single event that occurred back in the early 70's that set us off on this perilous journey that we are currently on.

Breaking Inequality exposes the truth behind the root of the problem and it provides a solution to help end it. Our goal is to make enough Americans aware of the current system that is robbing them of their future, so that we can change the system all together. We have to change our destiny or the middle class will cease to exist in the United States of America.

Recommendation: I watched the first half, which was pretty well done and provides solutions to the widening gap in wealth.

Land hunt for greedy investors

How to view: Available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDoM6a0B7TY


Director: | Producer:
Produced: Oxfam GB| Country: Great Britain
Run Time: 6:45 | Language: English

Synopsis: Stages a hypothetical land grab on a residential area in the U.K. to illustrate the brutality of land grabs and puts the responsibility directly on the greed of large corporations. 

Opinion: Part of Oxfam Internationals 2012 appeal having to do with land grabs, so a little outdated. However, the impact and message about land grabs is still relevant.

Recommendation: Good for a film festival, an introduction to land grabs.
