The richest people use the poorest to get richer. That's something that not only has been done throughout history, but it's something that has been the topic of dozens of documentaries, of all types of industries and styles. This one is a little too long for my taste, especially because of the way the topic and the way the concepts are introduced, so as a movie, is not necessarily the best made. Nevertheless, the human aspect of the story is both fascinating and deeply moving because it tells you from different perspectives how a situation like this not only can devastate victim's lives, but also how different types see and react to the situation. I hope that this kind of movie spreads the message of all that have been victimized by this situation, but also makes us as public more interested in learning more because I believe that has to be the greatest objective of a documentary, make you interested in something and wanting to learn more. In that aspect, this movie succeeds. This gets a recommendation for anyone, just for the human aspect of it.… Expand

The movie is gripping from beginning to end. Growing up I saw many in the Spanish-speaking community sucked into what was obviously a pyramid scheme.

Growing up I saw many in the Spanish-speaking community sucked into what was obviously a pyramid scheme. Even sadder, the pyramid-scheme( or "multi-level marketing") incentivizes the poor to prey on their fellow man and vulnerable members of the community -- I can imagine how many elderly folks lost their retirement due to schemes like this. Watch this documentary and spread the word!

P.S. Also, it seems that the number scores of critic reviews for this move are artificially low, considering the positive reviews they link too. For example, the Village Voice's. Seems kinda fishy...… Expand
