Marc Levin, 2023, 77 min.

It’s Basic follows several guaranteed income pilot programs across the US that test the effects of giving everyday people an extra $500 to $1,000 monthly, with no strings attached. Set against the backdrop of widening income gaps, politics, and growing social concern, It's Basic presents the benefits, criticisms, and outcomes of giving unconditional money to people in need. With commentary by Michael Tubbs, the founder of Mayors for Guaranteed Income, and interviews with program recipients and participating mayors across the country, the real-life challenges of trying to get by on a daily basis are at the heart of this moving story.

Post-screening discussion with Marc Levin, Jamal Joseph, and Nyerere Carter
