Documentary: Plutocracy
A film by Scott Noble
A Metanoia Production
« I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half » – Jay Gould, American railroad developer, 19th century.
Not quite…
Plutocracy is a brilliant exposé of the class struggle in the 19th century’s USA. More than a film, it is an ode to common decency and the indomitability of humans, even when the odds are stacked against them, and even against all hope.
Must-watch.
