RR: Ideas and values seep into the public consciousness in ways impossible to measure. I think the film is having an effect, but I'll never be able to prove it.
JB: A fellow blogger told me this afternoon that she loves your work and that Inequality for All is on her list but... She's been putting off watching it because she was sure it would be a downer. I assured her that it was not. She's now going to watch the film and report back. But, I'm sure that hers is a common reaction: movie about income inequality = depressing. How do you offset that natural initial reaction?
RR: I suppose we could have come up with a different title, like Sex and Inequality or The Inequality Vampire, but we didn't. That's why we have to rely on word-of-mouth. People who have seen the film say they're inspired by it. Many watch it several times. Most say it's very funny, as well as being poignant.
JB: That gave me a chuckle. I can see where the film got its sense of humor.
And I get it. Once again, it's up to People Power to spread the word. Thanks for talking with me, Robert. It was a pleasure, as always.
RR: My pleasure, Joan.
