The American Ruling Class:
Power, Privilege, and Reclaiming Agency!

Join us for this exclusive screening, featuring a live discussion and Q&A with Richard Grove and special guests, as we unpack the film’s insights on class, power, and the choices that define our future.

Does America have a ruling class? Explore the realities of power, privilege, and class in a nation that claims to be a democracy.

The American Ruling Class is a first-of-its-kind dramatic-documentary-musical written by Lewis H. Lapham and directed by John Kirby. The film follows two Yale graduates—one from wealth, one from modest means—as they navigate the corridors of power, from Wall Street to Washington, confronting the question: should they join the elite or challenge the system? Real-life figures and institutions reveal the hidden structures that shape American society, exposing the moral dilemmas and personal costs of pursuing influence in a world ruled by money and connections.

Decode Power:
Unmasking the American Ruling Class

Step beyond the surface and discover how America’s true power brokers shape your reality. This session peels back the layers of influence—exploring the networks, institutions, and psychological tactics that maintain elite control over society. By connecting the dots between historical precedent and today’s engineered narratives, you’ll gain the tools to recognize manipulation, challenge inherited assumptions, and chart your own course.

Led by a seasoned analyst, this event features an interactive Q&A designed to empower you with strategies for critical thinking, resilience, and independent action. Learn how to spot the subtle levers of control, cultivate intellectual sovereignty, and build a life that’s truly your own—beyond the boundaries set by the ruling class.

How does that vibe with your vision? Want it more provocative, or should we dial in on a specific angle (like media, finance, or tech influence)?
