About Eugene Jarecki
An award-winning documentary filmmaker and public thinker, Eugene Jarecki and his thought-provoking films have changed the way we view American institutions like the military and the banking industry. Why We Fight, the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, documents the country’s military-industrial complex, and his latest feature, Move Your Money, is a viral call-to-action to move their money from the banks deemed “too big to fail.”
Since its launch, Move Your Money has sparked a nationwide movement. Individuals and businesses have moved their money from major banks to smaller, local institutions, and state and nationwide groups have acknowledged the power of the film. From Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner acknowledging the film’s prominence to Politico to New Mexico introducing a bill to move the state’s money, and President Obama announcing that $30 billion in TARP money will go to community banks, the theme of financial safety in Move Your Money has taken on a life of its own, and empowered Americans to join the movement to protect themselves and their futures.
In addition to his work on film, campus speaker Eugene Jarecki is a frequent commentator on political affairs, and has appeared on Tavis Smiley, The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, FOX News, CNN, PBS, and BBC, and has been featured in the New York Times, the Huffington Post, Financial Times, New Yorker, Vanity Fair, GQ, and Newsday.
