Support upcoming UBI films
These upcoming movies will explain UBI through storytelling.
Bootstraps tells the stories of a diverse group of Americans receiving a basic income for two years, capturing how a guaranteed and unconditional floor of financial security affects their lives. It will be released as a documentary series in early 2020 to coincide with the Presidential primaries.
Inherent Good takes the discussion of UBI into America's Heartland. Comedian Trae Crowder (The "Liberal Redneck") goes home to Celina, TN (population 800) and introduces UBI to his friends and neighbors. Local residents share their stories of struggle and perseverance, and the discussion culminates in an open Town Hall debate at Celina's historic courthouse.
