Inequality for All: Documentary Antidote to “Elysium Economy”
[]
YES! Magazine - BLOG
I recently saw the Hollywood blockbuster film Elysium, directed by Neill Blomkamp (District 9) and starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster.
The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in 2154, degraded by ecological disasters and extreme inequalities of wealth.
Elysium is a metaphor for immigration but also a dire warning about our society’s extreme inequalities of wealth.
The antidote to the Elysium economy comes in the form of a new documentary, Inequality for All, which appears in theaters on Friday, September 27.
We are now living through a second “Gilded Age,” a period of extreme wealth inequality that mirrors the dizzying disparities that came after the Industrial Revolution, from the 1890s to 1920.
