the narrator

This is, quite possibly, the most informative, interesting, and depressing movie I have ever seen.

It's long, 1 hour 56 minutes, but so worth it, so very worth it. The intro is around 7 minutes long, followed by a 2 minute long joke from George Carlin (whom I don't find funny at all), so if you were to skip ahead to 9:40 you'd begin at Part I, and avoid the intro + George Carlin joke.

I Didn't Know Cheney Had Kids That Age

Amherst alum: So we're looking over the applications, and there are all these amazing kids. Won the Westinghouse, worked for the UN. And the questions: "Who do you most look up to?" "My parents, because they're immigrants, and they taught me to work hard." And with each of them it's like, "in". And then we get to this one, it's like, "What's a recent intellectually stimulating experience?" The answer is, "I love my dog, walking my dog." Stuff like that. On and on, really ridiculous. And then, "Who do you most look up to?" The answer: "my parents, especially my dad. He's the President of the United States." And we look at each other, and Steve is like, "in."
