The One Percent

documentary

Interesting piece on the ruling class by a maverick son. Jamie Johnson is an heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune so was able to attend and film in events not open to the average bear.

As expected, the folks at the top (except for the guy who started Kinkos) aren't very interesting...they mostly inherited money, haven't done anything to deserve their good fortune and strive mightily to keep the full extent of their unearned privilege from the little people.

They saw this kid as a traitor to his class and got quite exercised about his film project in several scenes...intriguing evidence that they are well aware that the system isn't quite kosher and that perhaps one day the darkies are going to come over the hill and wreak revenge...or something.

Good doc.
