Free Film Screening: The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales

Join us for a free documentary film screening and talk with director Abigail Disney. Co-sponsored by UC Berkeley Labor Center, Students for Labor Action, and the Berkeley Journal of Employment and Labor Law.

About the film
Abigail Disney looks at America’s dysfunctional and unequal economy and asks why the American Dream has worked for the wealthy yet is a nightmare for people born with less. Using her family’s story, Disney explores how this systemic injustice took hold and imagines a way toward a more equitable future.

Panel discussion with director Abigail Disney
Immediately follow the film screening, there will be a panel discussion with Abigail Disney. It will be moderated by Nancy Harvey, an in-home family child care provider and leader in her union, Child Care Providers United Ca/SEIU 521 (CCPU).
