Milton Friedman

The film traces the doctrine's beginnings in the radical theories of Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago, and its subsequent implementation over the past forty years, in countries and situation as disparate as Pinochet's Chile, Yeltsin's Russia, Thatcher's Britain, and most recently the neo-con invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

In this eye-opening documentary, filmmaker Jamie Johnson examines the gap that exists between America's poor and the one percent of the population that controls half the country's wealth. Johnson, an heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, interviews America's wealthiest, including Steve Forbes, Paul Orfalea, Nicole Buffett and Chuck Collins. Johnson also looks to the other side of the fence, interviewing farm workers, cab drivers and residents of housing projects, examining the day-to-day realities of poverty.
