Through his singular perspective, Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the and the foundation of democracy itself. In this INCONVENIENT TRUTH for the economy, Reich uses humor and a wide array of facts to explain how the issue of inequality affects each and every one of us.

Inequality for All directed by , takes on the income inequality gap full force by seeking out workers, individuals and families across different income levels giving us a glimpse of the real-world impact of the policies Bob discusses. This film incorporates 100% of the economic scale, from the families at the bottom to the CEOs at the top. We meet pillow manufacturer and venture capitalist , who was an early investor in Amazon and a clear member of the top 1%.

Nick opens up about his spending habits and explains that regardless of how much money he makes in a year or has in his bank account, he cannot make up for the decreased spending of our middle class. As a successful businessman, he recognizes that the middle class are our job creators – that they are the fuel that keeps our economic engine running. As Nick explains, “Even a person like me who earns a thousand times as much as the typical American doesn't buy a thousand pillows a year.

This movie is critically important. It exposes the heart of our economic problem. Something that's been getting worse and worse for over 30 years. Widening inequality.” – Robert Reich

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
It was quite a challenge, as a narrative filmmaker, to think about how I might approach a documentary about widening income inequality. As I thought about it more, however, I realized my background could be a real asset. I decided my goal with this film, first and foremost, was to take a conceptual and abstract topic and find a way to tell an approachable and human story about it. Every choice – from letting Reich's humor show through to approaching interview subjects as people rather than victims – was designed to help show the argument and the economy in human terms that people could wrap their heads around.
