The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales (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.
