Please join us for a free
screening of the film "Maxed
Out" at St. Anne's
church.
The
film starts at 7:30pm and is open to the public.
Maxed Out takes
viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of
debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum
monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that
spans from small American towns all the way to the
White House, the film shows how the modern financial
industry really works, and explains the true definition
of "preferred customer." Hilarious, shocking and
incisive, Maxed Out is a must see !! This film has
received over ten honors.
