This film enters our collective psyche at such a critical moment when working folks are organizing and striking at their workplaces nationwide to fight back against the enormous greed and lies of the bezos style ownership class.
Sean Claffey and his talented production team have given a loud voice to all of us who are fed up and furious at the 1% types plundering our economy & our daily lives in order to buy one more mansion, one more disgusting large yacht, in this case , bezos's yacht, while spitting on the millions hard hit by the pandêmic's terrible economic toll.
Sean follows several new unions organizing, such as the Amazon Labor Union and Starbucks Unions and several subjects trying to regain their footing after the devastation of the pandemic years..
This film has heart, soul and plenty of anger directed at those who would try to con us all
And a huge heart and soul when highlighting the way we all can successfully organize to fight it.
Plot summary
The super-rich determines virtually every aspect of the lives of the other 90% of Americans. This film examines the hidden struggles of American families, the calculated political maneuvers of the elite, and the long overdue uprising of American workers. With affection for the middle-class and the outrageous attempt to color them as lazy, the film explores the question: How do we make sure workers are paid what they are worth, instead of believing they are only worth what they are paid?

It Is Indeed Time to Rse
One of the most powerful statements in the film 'Americonned, Time to Rise' comes from Kurt Andersen, who makes an argument in favor of wealth redistribution: "If we divided everything up equally, the average household would have a million dollars and earn a 6-figure income..."
Income inequality is rapidly becoming an issue that defines this decade. Too many people are forced to work 2-3 jobs in order to make enough money to house & feed their families. Both parents may have to work, creating a child care issue. Many don't have health care, and they go to work sick so they don't lose money to live on.
The United States was once known for its prosperity, but now the middle class is supporting the wealthiest 1%, who pay no taxes, do little work themselves & want to cut all aid to the poor.
The film follows the lives of a few people who are examples of the devastating reality of income inequality.
Everyone in the United States should view this film. Then they should actively seek change. Current conditions are cruel and unsustainable.
Must See
This documentary is a must see. We all work hard for our money, but wealth disparity is out of control. The cost of living has skyrocketed, but wage increases do not match. This documentary tells the story of Americans fighting to provide for their families. You will enjoy it, and you will see things that shock you.
Sure, watching people struggle is uncomfortable. This is right here at home, though. These are not lazy people, living off welfare. These are hard working Americans, fighting for survival. We take for granted what we have, but if we are not careful, we could lose it all. This film is worth your time.
