Documentary Linking America's Financial Crisis to Federal Reserve System Seeks
Production Funding

LOS ANGELES, July 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Ruby 8 Films, a production company
dedicated to creating documentaries that raise public awareness, announces the
Company is entering the funding stage for THE AMERICAN DREAM, a political
documentary that examines the historical role the Federal Reserve System has
played in creating financial instability and how it directly relates to
America's present financial crisis. The Company is slated to begin shooting
January 2009.
Ruby 8 Films is finalizing an extensive research stage for the project and
is currently seeking funding opportunities through alliances that share
similar viewpoints and are passionate about raising public awareness on
important issues that affect Americans' basic rights.
Beginning with the creation of the Federal Reserve System, THE AMERICAN
DREAM unfolds a series of historical events that led this country into a
crisis Alan Greenspan has described as "the greatest economic crisis since the
Great Depression". The film will tackle a system that safeguards Wall Street
and the economic elite from further profit loss at the expense of the
working-class in the form of wage cuts, layoffs, and foreclosures. THE
AMERICAN DREAM takes viewers through an entertaining journey that clearly
explains why mortgage giants are collapsing, foreclosures are at an all-time
record, construction and manufacturing activity is at its lowest in five
years,
and unemployment rates are at their highest in two years. THE AMERICAN DREAM
asks the question: If Fed doesn't have the best interest of the American
public in mind, whose interest does it serve?
By addressing America's financial crisis in the same manner AN
INCONVENIENT TRUTH tackled the world's environmental crisis, THE AMERICAN
DREAM intends to engender a level of understanding that will change the way
people think about money. THE AMERICAN DREAM will leave viewers not just with
threads of hope, but with inspiration for change.
Films like FAHRENHEIT 911 and AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH have proven that
documentaries on charged topics are gaining ground among viewers and achieving
unprecedented box office numbers by offering audiences a new perspective that
can affect real change. THE AMERICAN DREAM combines compelling storytelling
with dynamic interviews that disseminate information in an accessible and
entertaining way that will inspire the hearts and minds of its viewers. It
aims to reconnect audiences with the revolutionary spirit this country was
founded upon in order to stimulate a greater demand for financial reform.
