>Maxed Out
>Dir. James D. Scurlock US 2006
>The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina laid bare an uncomfortable 
>reality - America is not only far from the world's wealthiest 
>nation; it is crumbling beneath a staggering burden of individual 
>and government debt. Maxed Out tells us why the poor are getting 
>poorer while the rich get richer. Director Scurlock interviews a 
>broad range of experts on the credit crunch, both from academia and 
>the street, and dissects the ways credit card companies prey on the 
>weak. When the film turns to the real-life stories hiding behind the 
>statistics, the life-and-death nature of the credit industry's 
>predatory practices clearly come into focus.

>Co-presented by CounterCorp. Speakers to follow evening screenings.
