A new groundbreaking feature documentary about the roots of the American economic crisis, and the continuing assault on working and middle class people in the United States. "Heist" boldly reveals the crumbling structure of the U.S. economy - the result of four decades of deregulation, massive job outsourcing, and tax policies favoring mega-corporations and wealthy elites. Through expert testimony, investigative filmmaking and key archival footage, "Heist" unfolds critical historical background, beginning with the dismantling of FDR's New Deal, uncovering the ideological influence of the infamous Powell Memo and the Heritage Foundation's Mandate for Leadership on government reform, and traces both Republican and Democratic allegiance to big business. A movie with its pulse on the most urgent issues of our time.
