Fiscal Responsibility Gets An Encore
October 17, 2008
Who would have thought that a feature documentary about America's addiction to debt and its consequences could prove to be so timely? Even before today's financial crisis unfolded, acclaimed director Patrick Creadon's "I.O.U.S.A." received three and a half stars from Roger Ebert and rave reviews from the New York Times and other critics. Imagine what reviewers would say if they watched the movie today.
Now more than ever, "I.O.U.S.A." needs to be seen by all Americans. And PGPF is taking several steps to make that happen. Over the next few weeks, the movie will return to theaters around the country. From Pittsburgh and Baltimore to Las Vegas and Portland, OR, from Cincinnati and Detroit to Austin and San Antonio, "I.O.U.S.A." will have another run. Click here for the complete list of theaters.
Together with our friends at the Concord Coalition and Concerned Youth of America, PGPF is also helping educational institutions and good-government groups around the country schedule screenings of "I.O.U.S.A." in order to provoke discussion of these critical issues among those who will be the most hurt if nothing is done to address them: young people. Check here for the latest list of campus screenings.
And just a few weeks from now, a condensed version of the film will be posted online for all to see. So even if the film isn't coming to a theater in your community, you'll still have a chance to experience it for yourself at this critical time.
