The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales (2022) (trailer)

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.
