Abigail Disney examines income equality and corporate priorities in new film about Disneyland employees
Filmmaker and activist Abigail Disney joins CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger to discuss her new documentary, "The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales." The film examines income inequality at the company her grandfather and great-uncle founded, asking why the American dream seems so out of reach for so many.
In response to the film, a spokesperson for The Walt Disney Company shared this statement: “Our amazing Cast Members, storytellers, and employees are the heart and soul of Disney, and their wellbeing is our top priority. We work hard to ensure that our team is supported in ways that enable them to grow their careers, care for their families, and thrive at work—which is why so many people choose to spend their entire careers with us. It all starts with competitive pay and leading entry wages, but also includes affordable medical coverage, access to tuition-free higher education, subsidized child care for eligible employees, as well as pathways for personal and professional development. We are committed to building on these impactful programs by identifying new ways to support our Cast Members and communities around the world.”
