I found this via Mark Maynard’s blog this morning, where students were protesting/rioting about the University of California system board of regents raising tuition:
The filmmakers were apparently in the area filming something about an upcoming documentary about the collapse of the U.S. dollar. According to the SFGate article “UC regents approve steep tuition hike,” the raise means that student tuition at a UC school (like UCLA or UC Santa Barbara or UC Berkeley) will go from $7,788 to $10,302 next fall. That’s a pretty big chunk of change….
