The American Ruling Class

I am putting together a list of hybrid documentaries for the Reframe blog, and I remembered a film that I didn’t actually get to see. The filmmakers presented clips and information about the project at the Virginia Film Festival several years ago, but I never caught the finished film, The American Ruling Class. Seeing the YouTube clip below, I guess it doesn’t surprise me that the film didn’t make a big splash. The “acting” is awkward and the transitions are clumsy, but it’s got heart. Thoughts? Other hybrid docs you like?
