DATW: “Born Rich”

Last week, I wrote about “The One Percent,” a documentary by Jaime Johnson. This week for Docs Around the Web, check out “Born Rich,” Johnson’s first film, which you can watch in its entirety below. “Born Rich” is good example of why people should write – or, in this case, film – what they know. While “The Once Percent” is, at times, meandering and befuddled, “Born Rich” is concise and deliberate. Johnson sits down with six or so of the richest young adults in America, like Ivanka Trump, Georgina Bloomberg, and Sy Newhouse IV, many of whom are close friends of his. The subjects are, in turn, thoughtful and despicable; sheepish and unabashed; empathetic and completely out of touch. See for yourself:
