Following the screening, Kornbluth is expected to participate in a director’s discussion. A reception featuring a selection of beer and wine and light hors d'oeuvres is also planned.

In “Saving Capitalism," Reich and Kornbluth take a deep dive into America's staggering socio-economic divide and search for solutions.

Reich served as labor secretary during the Clinton administration and is now Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and senior fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies.

Kornbluth is the award-winning director of the documentary film “Inequality for All,” which won the special jury prize for excellence in filmmaking at Sundance 2013. In 2014, he was a producer on the Showtime series about climate change, “Years of Living Dangerously.” His work on that show won an Emmy.
