6:45 PM - Finding The Money

Special Features: Q&A moderated by Sara Nelson, International President of AFA-CWA, with filmmaker Maren Poitras, subject Stephanie Kelton and Rev. Delman Coates, Senior Pastor, Mt. Ennon Baptist Church and founder, Our Money

An intrepid group of economists is on a mission to instigate a paradigm shift by flipping our understanding of the national debt — and the nature of money - upside down. We all use money, yet the questions of what it is and where it comes from remain elusive. FINDING THE MONEY follows former chief economist to the U.S. Senate Budget Committee Stephanie Kelton on a journey through Modern Money Theory, or "MMT," to unveil a deeper story about money, injecting new hope and empowering democracies around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century, from climate change to inequality. DIR/PROD Maren Poitras. U.S., 2023, color, 95 min.
