So the story is told from Anne Anti-capitalist perspective means everything said about capitalism is a Big Lie.

Plot summary
The Great American Lie is a documentary film that examines how a US value system built on the extreme masculine ideals of money, power and control has glorified individualism, institutionalized inequality, and undermined the ability of most Americans to achieve the American Dream. The main topic of this film is arguably one of the most important issues of our time: social and economic immobility. Inequality has been on the rise in America for more than three decades. Middle and low income wages have remained stagnant or decreased while top earners have seen their wages increase 135% since 1979. Today, the top .1% of Americans owns almost as much wealth as the bottom 90%. This film is incredibly timely because of the staggering state of inequality today, but this film is also important because it is new. By bringing the unique perspective of gender to this story, this film expands the conversation around the causes and solutions to America's inequality and division. With our history and experience in illuminating and challenging limiting gender narratives in our society, our documentary team is uniquely qualified to tell this story. Our first two films, Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In, lay the groundwork for understanding the impact of gender on individuals and communities in American society. We view The Great American Lie as the critical last film in this trilogy that will address the role of our gendered values on American society-at-large.

Socialism's Definition Is Anti-capitalism
Nailed it. People are sad and unhappy. Life is bad and will get worse.
The stories in The Great American Lie were so powerful and moving. This is such an important message they are sharing and so thoughtfully and intelligently executed. I hope that the film reaches a very wide audience.
Garbage for a Liberal
Another master piece of liberal Garbage if you hate America you will like this Doc. I bet they had help from the NEA to put this together.
