Filmes

Salvando o Capitalismo
Director
O documentário segue a jornada do ex-secretário do governo americano e professor Robert Reich, enquanto ele compartilha, no coração da América conservadora, suas ideias sobre os novos rumos que a economia do país deveria tomar.
Love & Taxes
Director
Love & Taxes is a riveting comic tale of seven years of tax avoidance. Following the possibly real-life exploits of Josh Kornbluth, an autobiographical monologist, Love & Taxes is a comedy that blends solo performance and scripted scenes to bring the subjective reality of the storyteller hilariously to life. A tale of procrastination, making movies and growing up, Love & Taxes is a middle-aged coming-of-age story that is also, quite possibly, the first ever pro-tax romantic comedy.
Inequality for All
Director
U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich tries to raise awareness of the country's widening economic gap.
O Melhor Ladrão do Mundo
Director
O Melhor Ladrão do Mundo, às vezes triste, às vezes engraçado, mas profundamente humano. A vida de Izzy não está nada fácil. Seu pai sofreu um derrame, e está paralisado numa cadeira de rodas. Sua mãe luta para sustentar a família, cuidar do pai e dos três filhos pequenos. Seus amigos do subúrbio de Nova York não são tão amistosos assim. Com seus poucos 11 anos, Izzy encontra refúgio invadindo casas quando os moradores estão ausentes. Nelas, ele descansa, faz um lanche, muda uma mobília de lugar, mas raramente furta algo de valor. Mas ele acaba tendo que cometer um ato de violência para que as coisas mudem. De preferência, para melhor. Embalado por uma trilha sonora original de ótimos hip hops de Prince Paul and Don Newkirk.

The Mathematics Of Change
Director
THE MATHEMATICS OF CHANGE is the uproarious and moving story of a young aspiring mathematician who unexpectedly discovers his limits as a Princeton University freshman. Acclaimed comic monologuist Josh Kornbluth has toured the U.S. extensively with this Off-Broadway hit, thrilling audiences of math-lovers and math-fearers alike. This concert film captures Josh performing the show in a unique setting: the world-renowned Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll imagine yourself to be covered in chalk dust — and you’ll never look at the number 3 the same way again!
