DESCRIPTION:The CounterCorp Anti-Corporate Film Festival presents a series of 
 pre-festival benefit screenings of the new documentary MAXED OUT on May 15 
 & 16 at 7:15 and 9:30 at the worker-owned Red Vic Movie House, 1727 Haight 
 Street (at Cole Street), in San Francisco.\n\nFrom small-town America to 
 the White House, MAXED OUT reveals how the modern financial industry really 
 works: how so-called “sub-prime” borrowers — a euphemism for the 
 broke and bankrupt — are now the industry's "preferred customers", why 
 banks and credit card companies actually want you to make late payments, 
 and why Americans are now going broke at a faster rate than during the 
 Great Depression.\n\nThe film also looks at the personal information 
 business, in which 90 percent of all credit reports have errors in them, 
 but the companies that compile them don't bother to correct them, because 
 negative reports mean higher individual interest rates — and industry 
 profits.\n\nAnd, in an echo of the current student loan scandal, MAXED OUT 
 exposes how companies pay colleges millions of dollars for students' 
 private data, then entice teenagers into life-long debt servitude and 
 financial subsistence.\n\nThe film will be followed by a Q & A session with 
 credit experts/activists. Tickets to benefit the 2007 Anti-Corporate Film 
 Festival (Oct. 19-21 in San Francisco) are $10 and are available online at 
 http://virtuous.com/events/countercorp/.\n\nFor more information on the 
 screenings (including a trailer of the film), CounterCorp, or the 2007
