I love Robert Reich. I've loved him since I read his book Supercapitalism during my first year as a graduate student. I often have trouble summarizing exactly what I see going on in our society today but Robert Reich knows how to say it. He knows how to show it, too, with this brilliantly simple and poignant documentary. This is the type of teaching we need more of in high schools. This is what college students everywhere need to hear. Because Reich is correct--they are the future. And if we want to make positive social change in this country, it starts with education. We must understand what is happening before we can do anything about it. I loved this documentary.
