The One Percent is a 2006 documentary about the growing wealth gap between America's wealthy elite and the citizenry on the whole. It was created by Jamie Johnson, heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, and produced by Jamie Johnson and Nick Kurzon. The film's title refers to the top one percent of Americans in terms of wealth, who control forty percent or more of the nation's wealth.

Unfortunately, the only place I could find a decent copy is on youtube and there are eight separate parts. Here is part one:

Wow, that was really good. I really liked Jamie Johnson's earlier documentary Born Rich, where he interviews a bunch of his ultra rich friends. It's a revealing look into the minds of people born into fabulous wealth.

Oh good, I don't understand why Oprah and Ripley are somehow better narrators over here than David Attenborough.

I think any GBS thread concerning Richard Dawkins will explain it. Many Americans apparently find that kind of accent to be condescending.
