Summary: “Anthology of American Apathy in the 2st Century was my first-attempt to compose a film for the purposes of informing an audience at a film festival. In hindsight, maybe I would have had a better chance if my festival of choice was not The Toronto International Film Festival. In any case, this was my 2008 submission, and it was rejected. The rough-production value aside, this is an informative 5-hour journey into the origins of apathy in America, and what it’s costing each and every one of us, in any number of ways. The sooner we establish the identity of the root-causes of our problems, and recognize the cause-and-effect relationship between our actions and how the world works; the sooner we can all return to a life of serenity, satisfaction, and happiness… but not until we’ve done our homework, and cleaned up our own communities, and that starts with being informed.” – Richard Grove

This documentary also includes solutions, documents, and references; asking only that you consider the information – THINK FOR YOURSELF – and communicate with others in order to share a higher-level of awareness, thus protecting ourselves from financial predators. This presentation is offered as a public service of the subscribers of the Tragedy and Hope online community, which is an international research and study group, composed of individuals who have screened our productions, and seek to take the next-steps in enacting strategic solutions.
