From Executive Producers Michael Douglas and Barry Levinson, America�s Burning draws on an amazing collection of thinkers and strategists, from James Carville and Amy Chua to Ian Bremmer and Leon Panetta, as New York Times best-selling author David Smick guides the viewer on a journey to discover the reasons for today�s hate and division � and rising risk of civil war. For 40 years, the US economy has been a paradox. It�s been an extraordinary wealth-creating machine, but only for the half of the country that owns stocks. Capitalism has, as James Carville put it, become �a racket� � a corporate insider�s club, a system centrally controlled by the well connected few. As a result, the middle class is shrinking and the American Dream�s promise of social mobility for all who work hard is dying. A new Velvet Rope Society of brains and money has cut itself off from the rest of America. Working families feel forgotten and angry, but it doesn�t have to be this way. America has an impressive history of resilience. Narrated by Michael Douglas, the film shows why our best days could still lie ahead. (less)
