Congress debuts movie narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker about Americans overcoming economic challenge

Congress has officially gone Hollywood.

A House committee is premiering a new film documentary about economic struggles and the modern quest for the American dream.

It is Congress’s first foray into documentary filmmaking.

The Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness and Growth’s 30-minute film “Grit & Grace” debuts on Dec. 13 at the National Archives.

Its producers — the committee’s members and staff — say the film seeks to close the partisan gap to tell stories from outside of Washington.

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who grew up in a low-income household in Ohio, narrates the film.
