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.
