Documentary Essay

I had a documentary in mind to write about until i watched another one last night that was directed by a guy named Jamie Johnson. He is the great grandson of the founder of Johnson and Johnson. Ironically what did he do his documentary about? The Difference gap between the rich and the poor. 1% of the USA are filthy rich and average $1,000,000 per year. The other 99% only average $35,000 per year. Huge gap. Very intresting how he does use stereotypes to utilize the point of his story as well. He has interviews with the top rich people and their family members. One of which was the grand daughter of Warren Buffet (the second most wealthy person in the nation). Because Mr. Buffet was so against doing the interview himself, he was so enraged his granddaughter did it that he legally and emotionally undeclared her to be related to him. Crazy stuff. Then he went to probably the 2 most poverty stricken areas in America: New Orleans and Southside Chicago. He didn't really hit the middleclass i guess to hit a point, but still that left alot out of the mix. Good documentary and entertaining overall. My take on it showed a great eye-opener to what i prepare to write about and present on Wednesday... Guess we'll wait to see what comes of it.
