I have a trailer here for you to watch for an upcoming documentary film titled The American dream and other fairy tales that Disney definitely doesn’t want people to see how it deals with how they treat their workforce badly. The film comes from Dr. Abigail E. Disneythe granddaughter of Roy O. Disney, co-founder of the company. She is a co-director on the film and is clearly not happy with what Disney has become.
In the documentary, “director and philanthropist Abigail Disney grapples with the profound crisis of inequality in America. The story begins in 2018, after Abigail meets the workers of the company that bears her name who struggle to put food on the table. Could she, a descendant, with no role in the conglomerate, use her famous surname to help pressure Disney and other companies to treat low-wage workers more humane? Believing that her conservative grandfather, Roy Disney, (Walt’s brother and co-founder of the company) would never tolerate employee hunger at “The Happiest Place On Earth”, Abigail reviews the history of modern American capitalism from the mid-century. last, when wealth was shared more equitably, until today, when CEOs earn up to 800 times more than their average employees. What happened? What Abigail learns in this film – about racism, corporate power and the American dream – is enlightening, unexpected and inspiring as she begins to envision a path to a more equitable future for all. “
This document gives us an honest and enlightening look at how Disney and other large corporations are run to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The American dream and other fairy tales is co-directed and produced by Abigail E. Disney and Kathleen Hughes (co-directors of doc The Armor of Light. The film will premiere in Orlando, Florida starting September 16, 2022. It will arrive on VOD on September 23. For more information, visit the film’s official website.
