DESCRIPTION:Link TV will broadcast a four-hour special, Rich & Poor: Inequality in 
 America, on Friday, Oct. 6, Wednesday, Oct. 11 and Saturday, Oct. 28, 
 beginning at 5 p.m. PST and 8 p.m. EST.\n\nPart of a gripping collection of 
 programs you must see before you vote in November, the special night 
 explores the widening gulf between the haves and have-nots in the U.S., and 
 what policies are driving the growing divide.  \n\nThe special will feature 
 “Moyers on Inequality in America,” a stirring, two-hour speech by Bill 
 Moyers, the veteran journalist calls for people to rise up and demand 
 equality.  Not equal incomes — but for a decent and fair society in which 
 money is not the sole determinant of status of comfort. Speaking at a 2004 
 conference sponsored by Inequality.org, Moyers examines the challenges to 
 democracy when wealth, power, and income are in the hands of the 
 few.\n\nFurther exploring these issues, Link TV host Wendy Hanamura 
 interviews Air America radio host, Thom Hartmann, author of the new book, 
 “Screwed, the Undeclared War Against the Middle Class.” \n\nPart of 
 this story is the disappearing factory job in America. Link TV traces this 
 story around the globe, right into the sweatshops of Bangladesh and China, 
 in “The Outsourcing Report:  Sweatshop Warriors.” We examine how the 
 low wage workers around the world are being exploited, and talk to 
 political satirist, Will Durst, who hosts “The Outsourcing 
 Report.”\n\nLink TV will also premiere “Poverty Outlaw,” a 
 first-person account of one woman’s struggle to live on and off welfare 
 and her fight, with other women who share her plight, to organize and fight 
 for better rights. “Poverty Outlaw” is the human drama of women ready 
 to do anything and everything to keep their children and avoid the special 
 penalties of being poor.\n\nAlso in this special, selections from Robert 
 Greenwald’s powerful documentary “Walmart: The High Cost of Low 
 Price,” which uncovers the retail giant’s assault on families and 
 American values in the pursuit of profit. The film dives into the deeply 
 personal stories and everyday lives of families and communities struggling 
 to fight a goliath.\n\nLink TV is available on DIRECTV channel 375 and Dish 
 Network channel 9410 and on cable in select markets, including New York, 
 San Francisco and Washington DC.  See programs streamed on-line, and check
