- Summary:
- "The Great American Lie exposes the causes and consequences of social immobility and economic inequality in the United States through a hard look into our gendered values. We are a society divided and out of balance - where the cultural pendulum has swung too far towards a masculine world view, elevating things considered stereotypically "masculine", like money, power, and individualism over things considered stereotypically "feminine", like empathy, collaboration, and community. This shift has created the worst economic and social inequality since The Great Depression. This timely and groundbreaking film features five Americans whose stories reveal ways that gendered values are at play in our society, privileging few and oppressing many. Their stories are interwoven with expert voices who help give historical, political, and economic context to the crisis." -- DVD container.
