Subject: Documentary w/study Guide Targets Every U.S. City -
Prime Time
The Academy Award Winning Documentary "The Inside Job" [1] with
study guide materials prepared by Professor Frank Partnoy, the George
E. Barrett Professor of Law and Finance at the University of San Diego
School of Law, [2] are the focus of an emergency appeal regarding
financial crimes that was directed to the UN Commission on Human Rights
- Security Council on 13 April 2011. [3]
The
subject matter and financial crimes outlined in the documentary are
viewed as so critical to stabilization of the U.S. economy, that an
appeal has
been presented for a special prime time viewing of the documentary,
with
study guide materials. The focus is to (1) engage the grassroots
level,
in every U.S. city/county area with the size and scope of underlying
issues that have resulted in the loss of life savings, homes and our
current national unemployment crisis and (2) ensure a mechanism for
prosecution of financial crimes.
Note: The documentary is very disturbing and could
require national access to mental health counselors and attorneys that
can help citizens cope with the subject matter. Compensatory
recovery for citizens is
viewed as a priority, while legal tools for restructure are a focus for
cities
and states that remain in the midst of a debt crisis, caused by these
historical events.
In conjunction with this educational initiative, Humanitarian Resource
Institute is calling for national support of frontline service programs
(unmet needs analysis and reports), [4] that have been overwhelmed by
this
economic crisis that has impacted every household, small business and
corporation in America.
