Yeah, it's worth it. It's one of my favorites. Netflix says I've watched it 6 times.

I'm very curious to see how people on this forum react to this. The Rich Kids of Instagram thread prompted some interesting discussion... this should be better.

You would think a forum so race/class obscessed would be excited to see something that gives a very accurate picture of the social forces that we are subject to evey day.

It's not like it's a book or anything. Yeesh.

There's too many sheeps, its a waste of time because people would ignore the truth.
Everyone wants the American Dream, that's why they don't want the status quo threatened.

Wait, what are you trying to say? I hope that's not what you took away from the film…

No.

What I got from the film is how privilege works. Its very basic, its like chapter 1 of a 25 chapter book.

Here's a good quote from the movie, "mostly white and male."

Emphasis on the "mostly" part. Mind you, this movie was made a few years back. You're living in an America with a Black president.

Fantastic documentary.

I watched all of it. Thanks for posting it here.

So many quotables.

If you're not in, you're out.

''The comfort of the rich depends on the abunance of the poor''

''America is governed by a commercial oligarchy and the citizen who cannot afford the luxury of a contrary opinion learns out of necessity to dance the beggar's waltz''

The world is not black and white.

It's shades of green.
