Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? reveals how American corporations orchestrated the dismantling of middle-class prosperity through rampant deregulation, the outsourcing of jobs, and tax policies favoring businesses and the wealthy. The collapse of the U.S. economy is the result of conscious choices made over thirty five years by a small group: leaders of corporations and their elected allies, and the biggest lobbying interest in Washington, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. To these individuals, the collapse is not a catastrophe, but rather the planned outcome of their long, patient work. For the rest of the country, it is merely the biggest heist in American history.

Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Chuck BowenThe film provides a crisp, succinct answer to a question that nags most Americans: What the hell happened?
Variety - 8/10 by Dennis HarveyThough myriad aspects of its story have already been probed in greater depth elsewhere, Frances Causey and Donald Goldmacher's Heist is well timed as a one-stop summary of reasons for ordinary Americans to be furious at our financial systems.
Shared Darkness - 7/10 by Brent SimonHeist is a cinematic gut punch, to be sure, but not one entirely devoid of hope.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Stephen HoldenHeist feels rushed. Many of its points could use elaboration. Its final section is a to-do list delivered in the tone of a high school civics teacher.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Nick SchagerLike its title, Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? purports to ask a question but is only interested in forwarding its predictable agitprop answer.
User Review - 10/10 by Cecile PWanna know why so many people are sleeping in doorways? Wanna know why 10 million folks have had their houses foreclosed this year? Wanna know why your nest egg is not worth even half of what it was four years ago when the US Mint started its printing orgy? Take a look at HEIST. Everything you ever wanted to know about your government-sponsored rip off is there frame by frame.
User Review - 10/10 by Donald GThe film connects the dots of how America's economy and politics were hijacked by the 1% and corporations. If you want to understand why elections are now the playground of the rich and powerful, you must see this movie.
User Review - 10/10 by Gregg LFinally, an easy to understand documentary that tells the truth about the economy. I love that both sides of the political aisle are equally criticized.
User Review - 10/10 by Scout WA great film to see if you're wondering why you had to give up so much in this recession. This film follows the downturn of the economy beginning with a secret memo circulated by Justice Powell. From there you learn how congress and the media were bought, unions were attacked, jobs were outsourced, and corporations and banks were given absolute power while the middle class was left with nothing. You leave with a well-rounded understanding of how we got into this situation and what we need to do to get out. A perfect examination of all of the issues to better inform yourself in economics and politics!
User Review - 10/10 by Andrew Alan RGreat new film that explains well why the economic elite deliberately created the recession.
