Last year I worked as an Assistant Editor on a feature documentary called “American Winter” about the crumbling middle class in America. It is a moving, poignant documentary involving everyday families and I’m very proud to have worked on it. The doc was picked up by HBO and the film’s Producer/Director brothers (Joe and Harry Gantz of Taxicab Confessions fame) are also holding screenings across the country in an effort to raise awareness about the growing hurdles average families face in America (and the cascade effects it can have on future generations).
“American Winter” even found an audience on Capital Hill and not too long ago some of the families and experts appearing in the documentary testified during a Senate Hearing called STATE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM: ECONOMIC POLICY AND THE FUTURE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS (follow the link to watch a recording of the hearing).
