The AMERICAN DREAM animated film
30 minutes.
The AMERICAN DREAM is a 30 minute animated film that shows you how you’ve been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away.
Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day?
THE AMERICAN DREAM takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today.
You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged to help get our nation back on track.

Hitler sells all his Bitcoins
The latest of the “Downfall” Subtitled movies is this. If you’ve ever sold any bitcoins too early (meaning if you’ve ever sold any bitcoins) then you can relate. Funny stuff. It may even be better than the Dmitri learns about Bitcoin video.
