Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream

Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream sees filmmaker Alex Gibney train his lens on the issue of economic inequality in the United States. He contrasts two apartment buildings located just five miles apart on Park Avenue in New York. Despite their close geographic proximity, the lives of the tenants are radically different: the Manhattan building houses a remarkable number of billionaires, while the South Bronx building is marked by widespread poverty.

The film asks whether America is still the land of opportunity, and whether residents of the South Bronx truly have a chance to rise to the highest levels of wealth, or if the deck is hopelessly stacked against them. It also examines the widening gap between the wealthiest Americans and the rest of society. Ultimately, the documentary offers a sobering window into the socio-economic and political realities of modern America.
