Audience Member Actually the filmmaker, Sarah Colt, was being prescient in this narrative of 3 families pre-Covid and subsequent economic collapse. As a filmmaker, she is possessed of a tender heart and a beautiful eye. She has also chosen compelling subjects. The ones in particular who grabbed me were the young couple we see in the accompanying picture. They moved me, well all of them did, and I would love to know how they are faring. Visually and thematically interesting. Give it a watch! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a beautiful movie that captured the struggle of hard working Americans everywhere. It followed three different people and their amazing families as they navigated unemployment, debt and the challenges of making a living wage in America today. A heartfelt film for sure made for these times. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A heartbreaking look at the realities that "regular" people are facing. Eye-opening. If you care about other people's experiences in the US now, watch this. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful and timely film about how the "American Dream" seems economically out of reach for many Americans. In this intimate and touching documentary, you enter the lives of three struggling workers. What sacrifices do Uber drivers make? How does the sense of responsibility to past and future generations weigh on a small farmer? How does the unemployment system support those who desperately need it? With beautiful filming you will find yourself in the Uber queue, at a cattle sale, and in an HVAC class. The incredible subjects will tell you much that you need to know. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member The Disrupted is about as depressing and hopeful as a film can be in 2020--millions of Americans go hungry everyday, income inequality is higher than its ever been, we have a global pandemic on our hands with no end in sight--and yet each individual story shows people with great resolve who want better for themselves and their families. The three main subjects are rendered as neither good nor bad, instead simply human. It's a rare film that strikes that balance. The narrative is perfect for its time; it is equally pessimistic about our systems as it is optimistic about human nature. What I enjoy most about this film is that it refuses to declare one of those truths as more legitimate than the other. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This important film captures the angst faced by three American families as they try to find their way through the trials and tribulations of the challenging US pre-pandemic economy. The stunning cinematography wraps an powerful story which deepens our understanding of our nation's evolving workforce. I highly recommend this captivating film to all.
