Dear Michel,
TASC is starting 2014 with a big event! In partnership with the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival (JDIFF), TASC will present a unique opportunity to see the award-winning documentary, Inequality for All, starring Professor Robert Reich of University of California at Berkley, who was Secretary of Labour in the Clinton administration.
When: 6pm, Monday 17th February 2014
Where: Cineworld, Parnell Street, Dublin 1
How to buy tickets: Book now (only via the JDIFF website)
TASC took this initiative to promote public awareness and discussion of this fundamanetal issue, which is at the heart of TASC's work programme. The film will be followed by a lively panel discussion with audience participation (the event will end at c.8.30pm). The panel will be moderated by Seán Whelan (RTÉ's Economics Correspondent) and the confirmed panellists are Margaret E Ward (financial journalist, CEO of Clear Ink); Marie Sherlock (economist at SIPTU), Colm O'Regan (comedian, best-selling author and broadcaster) and Nat O'Connor (TASC).
Inequality for All demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. With valuable lessons for all advanced economies, Prof. Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself. In this 'Inconvenient Truth' for the economy, Reich uses humour and imaginative graphics to explain how the issue of economic inequality affects each and every one of us.
You can see a two-minute trailer for the film on YouTube and learn more about the film and Reich's analysis on MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "www.swiftpage8.com" claiming to be inequalityforall.com.
This screening will be a one-night-only premiere for Ireland and the UK, and it may be the only opportunity to see the film, as there is not yet a general European release.
All ticket sales are being handled by JDIFF (not TASC!), so please book via the JDIFF website or by phoning (01) 6877974, or at the Box Office in Filmbase, Temple Bar. Tickets are €11. Early booking is essential, especially if you wish to bring a group.
Come and join us for this uniquely enlightening and entertaining night.
Kind regards,
Nat
Nat O'Connor
Director, TASC

"A really astonishingly good movie that takes some big economic ideas and how these relate to the quality of everyday life as lived by most ordinary people."
The Observer
"In short, this is a motion picture designed to put people in motion."
The Washington Post
Covering a broad swath of liberal economic theory in brisk, simply stated fashion, "Inequality for All" aims to do for income disparity what "An Inconvenient Truth" did for climate change."
