Jeffrey reviews the film documentary Fired, by filmmaker and actor Annabelle Gurwitch who was fired from a Woody Allen project.
It features interviews with a who’s-who of top-rated comedians and actors including Tim Allen, Sarah Silverman, David Cross, Illeana Douglas, Bob Odenkirk, Andy Dick, Fred Willard and more. The film also examines the state of employment in this country, interviewing laid-off GM workers in Lansing, Michigan, economist (and comedian) Ben Stein, former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, and even the recently fired White House chef.
It seems everyone has been touched by the epidemic known as “downsizingâ€, and it is a sign of our times that opens up to a much larger picture of the the changes and transformations that are critically needed today to bring in a sustainable future for everyone.
