What The One Percent Is About

Jamie Johnson, an heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, continues here the work he started with Born Rich, looking at the small group holding close to half the wealth in America. His position gets him into a closed conference where the rich learn how to keep what they have; from there he goes to a decaying housing project in Chicago, rides with a taxi driver, and looks at the human cost of the Florida sugar industry. He talks to Robert Reich, Bill Gates Sr and Steve Forbes, and argues with Milton Friedman. This is not a neutral survey but a documentary arguing the director’s own thesis, and it does not pretend otherwise.
