We the Owners: Employees Expanding the American Dream (2012)

It's impossible to ignore the current feeling in America of the 99%, a change is being called for, a change in the way businesses are operated and a change in the way people are treated; a change that allows for more than just a top few to be owners. This is a timely documentary that addresses ways that some American firms are implementing such change. The film captures inspiring stories of employee-owners and founders from New Belgium Brewing (CO), Namaste Solar (CO), and DPR Construction (CA) by following their decisions of expansion, succession, recruitment and layoffs. Learn of cultural challenges of sharing responsibility, distributing leadership, and linking risk and reward. Hear approaches to working collaboratively to be profitable, innovative, sustainable, and to addressing wealth inequality.
