Solidarity Film Series Spring 2008 Screening of Capitalism Hits the FanApril 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.
