Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Professor Linda Darling-Hammond, school principal Ruby De Tie, journalist Nicholas Kristof, and politician Libby Schaaf feature in director Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s political documentary. It explores how institutionalized social and economic immobility prevents most Americans from achieving the long-cherished American Dream. The gendered ideals of money, power, and control are singled out for scrutiny.
