SundanceNow Doc Club Launches Series of 5-Minute Films About Social Issues (Exclusive)

SundanceNow Doc Club Launches Series of 5-Minute Films About Social Issues (Exclusive) 

At this year’s Sundance Film Festival, AMC Networks CEO Josh Sapan had a eureka moment while listening to documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki sound off on the power of bite sized videos.
In the wake of the 2009 financial collapse, Jarecki produced a funny and angry protest short entitled “Move Your Money.


 in which he urged viewers to push their money from the banking goliaths that got bailed out by the federal government to smaller community financial institutions.



 He made it in a few days, but found that its brisk run time allowed the film to go viral. It was seen by millions more people than had watched pictures such as “Freakonomics” or “Why We Fight” that he’d labored for years to bring to screens.
