The American Dream

A documentary film directed by Abigail E. Disney and Kathleen Hughes

ABOUT THE FILM

Abigail Disney looks at America’s dysfunctional and unequal economy and asks why the American Dream has worked for the wealthy, yet is a nightmare for people born with less. As a way to imagine a more equitable future, Disney uses her family’s story to explore how this systemic injustice took hold.
