In Debt We Trust: America Before the Buble Bursts investigates why so many Americans are drowning in debt, and the impact this is having on the country's financial health. The film depicts the landscape of America's debt-and-credit complex -- including big banks, deceptive lenders and a bought and sold Congress -- and how wealth is being transferred from working people into the accounts of financial institutions and real estate interests.  www.indebtwetrust.org

Followed by a discussion with filmmaker Daniel Schechter and community activists.

NEDAP’s Film Series showcases documentaries, feature films and television broadcasts that explore ways in which low and moderate income communities and neighborhoods of color are confronting economic discrimination and pursuing self- determination.

By screening the work of provocative storytellers and then serving as a forum for discussions with the filmmakers and activists, the Film Series seeks to highlight economic justice issues and be a catalyst for organizing and advocacy efforts that bring about social change.
