With the current state of the economy, one has to wonder how in the world we got to this point. Millions have lost their jobs, their homes, and their American dream. “Heist” is a compelling documentary by filmmakers Donald Goldmacher and Frances Causey, that boldly looks at the past timeline of events in U.S. history that contributed to the “biggest heist in American history.”
At a time when many documentaries are done only to further some political agenda, “Heist” remains true to educating the public and offer solutions, resting the blame with the politicians on both sides
of the aisle, large corporations and big banks that have contributed to the demise of the American economy; protecting the rich and leaving the poor to struggle, “sink or swim.”
The impressive stock file video used alongside riveting interviews and video shot of the Occupy Wall Street 
Movement, move the viewer into a state of patriotism in which being American means doing something to stop the bleeding of personal, hard-earning dollars going straight into America’s richest social class even if the fight ahead is a hard and long one. “Heist” does offer solutions to end the massacre and abuse of the working class, and the steps one needs to take to achieve that is not an impossible goal.
