Can we have a precis, or review?

It is a documentary exploring the one percent by the one percent, with personal interviews and an attempt to humanise them so they don't end up dealing with crumples sharp end as austerity hits for real in 'merica... :naughty:

Thanks. I'll watch it later, or at least sample it.

If that was an attempt to humanize the rich, it still failed in my eyes. As in all groups, there is a small percentage of the group that is ethical and actually back their moral talk with real action. That's the most humanizing I found in this documentary, of which there was two examples.
Trigger Warning!!!1! :
Both of which were individuals who refused to accept their inherited wealth.
I watched it - it was very interesting, disturbing, etc. and well done.

I highly recommend it as well...thanks Crumple.

Of course, the people that need to watch it never will...starting with the 1%. :smug:
