THE AMERICAN DREAM

and Other Fairy Tales

Virtual Screening, Friday, July 15, 2022, *7:00pm

Disneyland, maybe “The Happiest Place On Earth, for those who can afford to visit but not so for its Cast Members,” the label Disneyland gives its workers.

In the film The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales, directors Abigail Disney and Kathleen Hughes gives an activist look at the company’s pay practices, in particular, the pay gap between the CEO and Disney rank and file workers. Not only is the pay gap highlighted in the film but half of the film is dedicated to showing the conditions Disneyland workers deal with, according to the film directors one in 10 Disney Employees have been homeless in the past two years and two thirds can’t afford to pay for food.

 The filmmaker states, ”I really want regular American people, voters to see (the film). I want them to see it and think about it when they go to the polls and when they get approached about organizing for a union.”  (Made in 2022 and 87 mins.)
