Spent: Looking for Change is a documentary highlighting the high costs to having to live outside the traditional banking system, and how unbelievably expensive it is to be underserved. Many hard-working Americans spiral into financial disaster every year, and its so much easier than you might think. But what went into making the film? And how can we even begin solve the seemingly un-solvable questions surrounding financial turmoil?

Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks leads a question and answer segment with Derek Doneen (Director of Spent: Looking for Change), Jennifer Tescher (President and CEO of CFSI), Dan Schulman (American Express), and Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman).

Turning to pawn shops, check cashing services, and using payday loans to meet basic financial needs can be costly for many of us, with $89 billion a year going to fees and interest* for using these types of alternative financial services.

It’s time for change. New technology, new ideas and encouraging dialogue around this issue can help make managing money simple and more affordable.

American Express is presenting this documentary to help improve financial inclusion in the United States. Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim is the executive producer of the documentary which is narrated by Tyler Perry and directed by Derek Doneen.
