Solidarity Film Series

Spring 2008

Screening of

Capitalism Hits the Fan

April 18



 
On Saturday, April 18, at 7:30 PM, the Solidarity Committee of the Capital District continues its 2008-2009 film series with a showing of "Capitalism Hits the Fan" (2009, 57 minutes).  In this documentary, Dr. Richard Wolff (Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts/Amherst) argues that today's economic meltdown was decades in the making, and reflects seismic failures rooted within the structure of corporate capitalism.  Richly illustrated with motion graphics and charts, "Capitalism Hits the Fan" not only casts new light on a crisis-ridden economy, but suggests what can and should be done about it.
 
.

The film-showing—cosponsored by Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace and Upper Hudson Peace Action—will take place at a new location:  the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany, located at 405 Washington Avenue (across the street from the downtown SUNY campus).
    


Admission is free.  Refreshments will be served.  Everyone is welcome to
attend.
