To mark the showing of Michaels Moore’s new film Capitalism: A Love Story the People Before Profit Alliance today held a street theatre performance of Capitalism: An Irish Love Story outside the Savoy Cinema in O Connell Street.

Michael Moore’s film shows how the recession has led to a horror story for many American workers and their families. He highlights the issue of home repossessions. He also shows how the banks have been bailed out by the taxpayer. In the film Moore goes into banks asking for the return of the people’s money.

This film will strike a chord with an Irish audience. The Celtic tiger boom enriched a small minority. While the banks behaved totally irresponsibly they are now being bailed out. This is at a time when many people are struggling to pay mortgages and face losing their homes. Many have already lost their jobs. The street theatre featured “Michael Moore” and others looking for our money back from Cowan, Lenihan and their banker and developer friends.

People Before Profit Alliance (PBPA) Councillor Joan Collins said at the performance
