A Sneak Peek at our New Movie

Two weeks from today, we’ll be releasing our first movie of 2011-The Story of Citizens United v. FEC: Why Democracy Only Works When People are in Charge.

Here’s a sneak peek.

After you’ve had a look at the teaser, please bookmark or ‘like’ The Story of Citizens United v. FEC page and share it with friends, family, neighbors and colleagues.

Its also not too late to join the over 200 members of our community who have signed up to host viewing parties on the evening of March 1st. We’ll be discussing the movie and kickstarting local organizing for a constitutional amendment to undo the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court ruling.

You can sign-up via our website or Facebook to host a party.

Thanks for everything you do to make the world more sustainable and fair and see
you on March 1st!

Sincerely,

Annie, Michael, Allison, Christina and Renee
The Story of Stuff Project

P.S. Our three Season One movies-The Story of Bottled Water, The Story of Cosmetics and The Story of Electronics-have together been viewed more than 2.3 million times on-line, thanks in large part to this community. Let’s reach at least a million people with The Story of Citizens United v. FEC!

    Please provide the source of your statistics when you quote them. 85% of US citizens say corporations have too much power. But, who said so? When? Who asked? Why?

    The Vancouver Sun recently ran an article slamming your information and sources, stating that ‘The Story of Stuff’ is being passed off as education, when in fact Annie Leonard is an ex-GreenPeacer with an agenda, and that she does not understand business or finance, and is disabling our students from understanding how money is made and spent as well.

    The article, written by an editor at McLeans, is a good wake-up call to educators, like me, who are taking the information as a form of truth, but not digging into the sources behind it.

    How about upgrading your content so that we teachers can comfortably address the business community?

    Gudrun, all of our movies, including ‘The Story of Citizens United v. FEC’, come with meticulously annotated scripts. Please visit http://storyofstuff.org/pdfs/citizensunited/SoCU_annotated_script.pdf. The particular statistic you mentioned is from a national survey conducted by Hart Research Associates in 2010.

    To your point about agendas, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a person in this world without one. For some, it is simply acquiring money and power. For others, agendas take the shape of things like seeking truth, educating, cultivating and creating community, advancing technology or leaving a legacy. As someone who’s spent quite some time in the business world, I have observed that the truth is not always in favor of bottom lines, as traditionally defined. I would argue that Annie might understand economics better than most would like to admit; namely, the externalization of cost.

    Thanks much for taking the time to comment and for doing so respectfully. I am curious to know, do you plan to discontinue the use of The Story of Stuff Project’s movies because of what you read in the Vancouver Sun?
