This funny, inspiring trailer for a new documentary, Lemonade, talks to some of the 70,000 creative professionals who have been laid off in the recession. They each tell the tale of getting the axe and then talk about the life-balance and liberation it has brought them–they’ve gotten rested, healthy, re-connected with family, or started a new career. One says: “I got laid off and I’m finally doing something that I think matters.” Very cool.
