Movie opens today. Thom Hartmann narrates.
http://www.heist-themovie.com/
HEIST..."has the virtue of taking the long view of a crisis that recent films like Inside Job and Too Big to Fail have only sketchily explored. It makes a strong case that government regulation of business is essential for democracy to flourish."
Stephen Holden, New York Times
"HEIST earnestly paints the picture of a democracy slowly and methodically being nudged toward oligarchy with help from all sides."
Mindy Farabee, LA Times
" HEIST is well timed as a one-stop summary of reasons for ordinary Americans to be furious at our financial systems. Its last third turns from compiling past outrages to encouraging activism, making this snappy, solid docu an ideal candidate for savvy distribs to jump on immediately. With grassroots marketing, pic could ride the wave of burgeoning Occupy Wall Street-related protests as a ready-made primer."
Dennis Harvey, Variety
"Perhaps the best film yet about the roots of todays economic conditions in the U.S., domination of public policy by corporate interests, and grassroots resistance that has emerged in the past few years."
