Bottom Dollars is an hour-long documentary that exposes the exploitation of people with disabilities through personal stories and expert interviews. It also presents clear employment alternatives with competitive wages and community inclusion. Do we want all people to have a shot at a job for fair pay in their own communities, or do we want some people to be separated, exploited and robbed of their chance to seize the American dream for themselves? 

Panel discussion following the screening, with film Director Jordan Melograna, Sara Frost (featured in film) and DLC Director of Advocacy, Rick Glassman.
