Moral Movies Wraps with Inequality for All

July 9, 2014 BY Molly Murphy

The North Carolina Moral Movies Film Series draws to a close this month with screenings of the acclaimed documentary, Inequality for All. The film features Robert Reich – professor, best-selling author, and Clinton cabinet member – as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. As Alexandra Sirota, Director of the NC Budget and Tax Center explains, “North Carolina, like the nation, is seeing increased barriers for too many to get ahead. Inequality for All provides the important context for this experience and makes it clear that policy choices have built these barriers rather than a smoother path to a strong middle class.”

Screenings in nine cities across the state will begin on July 22nd. These interactive events will spotlight the threat of income inequality on the viability of the workforce in North Carolina and will involve audiences in dialogue and action to address economic inequality.

May Day. It traces its origin to the 1886 Haymarket Affair in Chicago, where police clashed with workers striking for the eight-hour workday. Since then, May Day has been adopted worldwide as a celebration for the struggle for workers’ rights. Despite its roots in Chicago, the US government deliberately avoided…
