The biggest theft in American history wasn’t a crime of passion, but a secret plan launched in the 1970s- funded by a handful of billionaire families- designed to make them richer while robbing you and your family. Heist reveals how that plan, known as the Powell Memo, became a blueprint for corporate control of Congress, the courts, the presidency, our schools, and the media. More than a film, Heist is both a guide to understanding this theft and a rallying cry to reclaim our democracy.

14 years ago the documentary, Heist: Who Stole the American Dream debuted. The New York Times designated it a Critic’s Choice. Two of the stars of the film recently sat down with Dr. Don to discuss what has happened since the film was released, and why the film was and is still so relevant to what is occurring in the United States at this time.
