“We need renewed economic and social mobility in this country. I hope my film will spark a national conversation around how the elevation of stereotypically ‘masculine’ values has led to extreme social and economic immobility and how, if we elevate more ‘feminine’ values such as empathy, care, and community, we can fix some of these systemic inequities.” - Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Director of The Great American Lie
FILM SCREENING AND Q&A ARE BY INVITATION ONLY.
“Director Jennifer Siebel Newsom has once again created a documentary that is destined to become an instant classic that will be talked about and referenced for decades to come. The Great American Lie is a must-see for everyone eager to make sense of the ever-widening income gap that is currently threatening the fabric of our democracy. This film, like Jennifer’s earlier films, Miss Representation and The Mask You Live In— is ahead of its time in excavating issues that will soon dominate the zeitgeist. Via powerful storytelling and searing interviews, The Great American Lie is a cinematic tour de force that gets to the core of questions which haunt all Americans.”
—Amy Ziering, Film Producer, The Invisible War, The Hunting Ground, On The Record
“The stories in The Great American Lie were so powerful and moving…this is such an important message you are sharing and so thoughtfully and intelligently executed… I hope that the film reaches a very wide audience.”
—Kristen Connolly Vadas, TV/Film Producer/Writer
“Extraordinary. Extraordinary. Extraordinary. I admire your artistry and the gift you have given us with The Great American Lie. I cannot wait for everyone to see this. You will change so many lives. I want to show this film to everyone I know.”
—Jayme Lemons, Producer
