Well Crafted Documentary with Eye-Opening Wiretapped Conversations

"Back doors", "side doors", and endless loopholes - this documentary shows how the world is just an infinite playground for the wealthy. One of the unique elements to this doc is the recreation of conversations which were achieved through wiretapping. These conversations are... disgusting, to say the least. This format really allows you to see just how culpable and guilty these people are. The fact they're on tape admitting to knowingly doing wrong is sickening.

The sentences at the end are, of course, a joke. Without enforcement, this signals there will be a continuation of such practices in the future. But that's how it is in America. A high profile bust with lots of glitz and cameras, followed by an anemic jail sentence. Something's clearly broken here.

Overall, excellent documentary. I'm not usually a big fan of dramatic reenactments in this format - but it worked very well this time.

Prestige = Deceit

Documented very well.

Rick Singer was the mastermind behind this scandal. Many parents wanted to get their children into colleges for sure and paid money to Rick Singer.

In the end we see college advisors state that prestige is all an illusion. The school you go to has very little effect on how your future looks. The USA has 3000 schools. Don't go to USC one says, go somewhere else. The impact these school rankings have on today's teens...it creates a lot of anxiety for them.
