(10/07/15) – Distributor Filmoption International is pleased to announce that the feature documentary The Price We Pay from award-winning director Harold Crooks will make its NYC premiere October 30th at the Cinema Village in New York.

This cinematic essay film exposes how “offshore” tax havens and Google, Amazon and other tech giants of the “cloud” economy are undermining the 20th century legacy of progressive taxation, the New Deal and the Great Society and pushing us into a post-democratic future.
