REVIEWS:
“The Disrupted brings the impoverishing effects of globalization on all walks of life into intimate detail….
What is different about this film is that it squarely takes aim at the beleaguered middle class – whose lives have increasingly been pushed to the margins since the recession of 2008-2009”

Long Synopsis:
What do a farmer in Kansas, a laid-off factory worker in Ohio and an Uber driver in Florida have in common?
All three are resourceful, positive thinkers who strive to adapt and thrive despite dehumanizing forces at play in the American economy. As the film’s heroes face these roadblocks with courage, certain ideals remain sacred: family, love, and staying strong in the face of adversity.
Lush cinematography galvanizes a sense of place and as the narrative unfolds the intimacy with the characters results in an emotionally rich observational drama.
Ultimately, “The Disrupted” reveals a collective American experience of financial challenge, family resilience, and the quest for the purpose and dignity of work.
