American Ruling Class (The)
In this first of its kind "dramatic-documentary-musical", Lewis Lapham takes two young Ivy-League graduates on a tour of the corridors of power. The novice careerists must decide: should they seek to rule the world, or to save it? Many progressive and not so progressive individuals are interviewed in this unusual and creatively produced film about who's on top and how they got there.
