This provocative film moves through the financial centers of the world, exploring the attitudes of those on the top and bottom of the social and economic pyramid. Interviews with gold speculators, bankers, and investors are intercut with journeys into the lives of people on the margins: Puerto Ricans and African Americans in New York, a young family in Hong Kong, illegal immigrants in Geneva. The result is an unabashed portrait of “how people survive and how the money flows: those who have it and those who don’t.”
