There’s a very good chance that you or someone you know is in debt. However, talking about one’s own struggle with debt is largely treated as a taboo subject in American culture. Shame on You, an animated short documentary about predatory debt collection, seeks to shed more light on this phenomenon. Made in conjunction with the Debt Collection Lab, the film is produced, directed, and edited by Jeffrey Himpele. Towards the beginning of the film, it is stated: “More than 70 million adults in America have had a debt turned over to a private debt collector. That’s one in four adults.” This is an issue with far-reaching consequences that effects not only individuals, but entire families as well.
