I’m in Washington, D.C. at the eTail east conference.

While here, I came across a one night only event put on by Fathom Events called I.O.U.S.A. Live. They’re showing this documentary, along with a LIVE discussions with some heavy hitters and pretty damn smart dudes one night only–Aug 21–in movie theaters across the country. If you care about our country, find a showtime and go.

From the producers of Wordplay and the studio that brought you Supersize Me, the must-see documentary I.O.U.S.A. uncovers the source of critical economic concerns that touch the lives of every American. A tapestry of archival footage, hard data and candid interviews woven together, it paints an authentic profile of today’s economic condition. Solutions for how we can impact this nationwide crisis and evolve into a more fiscally sound nation for future generations are offered by the documentary’s powerful conclusion.

I’ve posted about David Walker before. (America on the Road to Bankruptcy and Why oh Why isn’t this the only issue being talked about?) He used to be the Comptroller General of the United States until he quit to try to better get his message about the coming bankruptcy of the U.S. to the masses.

Again, you can search for locations and buy tickets at Fathom Entertainment’s site. The official documentary site is here: AGORA Entertainment and I.O.U.S.A.

I’ll be watching that night, hope you will all too.
