In new documentary 'The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales,' Disney heiress Abigail Disney calls out the company that bears her name for exploiting its workers.
Pay increased from the prior year, during which top executives did not take cash bonuses. Bob Iger’s pay soared as well.
In a Q&A following the film’s online premiere, Disney and Hughes were joined by two of the film’s subjects, former Disneyland workers named Ellie Gonzalez and Artemis Bell. “If you walk away from the film thinking we have to reform Disney then we haven’t done our jobs,” said Hughes. “We’re really hoping that people understand that this is a much larger conversation that we all need to engage in.”
Despite the spotlight that her last name brings, Disney said she doesn’t want her own personal battle with the Disney empire to draw attention away from the larger issues the film raises. “I didn’t really ever want [the documentary] to be a personal attack,” she said. “I don’t want to be a gotcha person or a confrontation person. I just want to open the door to a lot of questions.”
