THE GREAT AMERICAN LIE

THE GREAT AMERICAN LIE

NYC PREMIERE Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s latest film is a timely look at the deep roots of systemic inequalities that have made possible the ever-widening income gap that threatens the fabric of our democracy. Cultural critics, academics and other notables explore the gendered nature of core American values—with “masculine” traits like individualism, power and money prioritized over “feminine” ones like collaboration, care and empathy—and how this has contributed to making the American Dream an impossible goal for most.
