Broken Eggs Film (2013)

What was once a life ending in happily ever after is now a life ending in working ever after. If retirement feels more like a fairy tale, it is in this feature-length documentary Broken Eggs. Taking a rare look at one of the gravest social issues facing an aging America, Broken Eggs showcases the grim irony that as we live longer, a growing number of Americans are falling short of retirement security. And the prognosis is even worse for future generations. Social Security is 20 years to insolvency; pensions are in decline, and bankrupting municipalities; and personal savings are at historic lows. Unlike any documentary of its kind, Broken Eggs blends comical animations with unforgettable portraits of everyday Americans reckoning with their inability to retire.
