Nick Shaxson ■ The Spirit Level – new documentary film coming

From The Spirit Level, a tantalising trailer for a forthcoming documentary film about inequality.
As they note:
“The Spirit Level tells the story of how the gap between rich and poor has risen to unprecedented levels, under our noses. But does it matter? We’ve be interweaving stories from across the globe to examine how it impacts on all our lives.
We have conducted in-depth research, both of the data and on the ground, identifying the personal stories that bring to life the bigger picture. We’re thrilled to have completed filming across the US and UK, and to be taking the film into the edit.
We need your support to help us continue with the project and realise it’s full potential. Please visitthespiritleveldocumentary.com to find out how.”
