"America's inner contradiction was the altruist-collectivist ethics. Altruism is incompatible with freedom, with capitalism and with individual rights. One cannot combine the pursuit of happiness with the moral status of a sacrificial animal." - Ayn Rand

Celebrate Sept. 2nd with a Piece of Atlas Shrugged History "A white rectangle hung over the city, imparting the date to the men in the streets below. In the rusty light of this evening’s sunset, the rectangle said: September 2." - Atlas Shrugged

In 1957, one of the most controversial novels ever written was published. The author was a young Russian immigrant, and the book, her epic masterpiece, was Atlas Shrugged. 59 years later, the book has sold millions of copies and inspired countless individuals. In 1992, one of those so inspired shook hands on a million dollar deal that would give him the rights to make Atlas Shrugged into a movie. That individual was John Aglialoro. And, while he had no way of knowing it at the time, he had just taken on one of his greatest challenges.

Over the next 18 years, John would face many ups and downs in his attempt to bring his vision of Atlas to the silver screen. (Read about the journey in Joan Carter's The History of the Atlas Shrugged Movie Trilogy.) In June of 2010, John finally found a hero that would get the film production of Atlas Shruggedunderway, Harmon Kaslow. Four years and 3 films later, on September 12th 2014, the final part of the trilogy, Atlas Shrugged: Who is John Galt? was released in theaters. After 22 years and $50 million of his own money, John Aglialoro's dream was realized.
