| Summary |
This documentary focuses on the growing "wealth gap" in America, as seen through the eyes of filmmaker Jamie Johnson, a 27-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical fortune. Born rich, he sets his sights on exploring the political, moral and emotional rationale that enables a tiny percentage of Americans -- the one percent -- to control nearly half the wealth of the entire United States. |
