America's Burning
Documentary83 min
Macroeconomist David Smick examines America’s widening economic divide and the anger surrounding it, arguing that the country’s political and social fractures are tied to a shrinking middle class and fading mobility. Narrated by Michael Douglas, the film gathers voices from across politics, finance, and academia, including James Carville, Leon Panetta, and Amy Chua, to map how inequality and corporate power have strained the promise of the American Dream. Alongside its portrait of division, it keeps an eye on what might still be repaired.
