Based on the work of Tim Wise, the film explores race and racism in the United States through the lens of whiteness and white privilege. In a reassessment of the American ideal of meritocracy and claims that we've entered a post-racial society, Wise offers a look back at the race-based white entitlement programs that built the American middle class, and argues that our failure as a society to come to terms with this legacy of white privilege continues to perpetuate racial inequality and race-driven political resentments today.

Explores almost 200 years of deaf life and presents a broad range of perspectives on what it means to be deaf. The film is propelled by the stories of people, both eminent and ordinary, and sheds light on events that have shaped deaf lives: the creation of schools for deaf students; the debate about American Sign Language; the campaign for a deaf-friendly telephone, the TTY; the fight for a deaf president at Gallaudet University; and some very loud rock and roll. Bringing a Deaf cinematic lens to the film are six artistic works by Deaf media artists. Poignant, sometimes humorous or jarring, these films draw on the artists' own lives and cover subjects that confront not only deaf Americans, but all Americans. The core of the film remains the larger story of a hidden and complex culture in America--a story of conflicts and prejudice that reaches the heart of what it means to be human.

"One of the enduring images from the 2012 presidential campaign was the demise of the white American male voter as a dominant force in the political landscape. Bellowing white men fill the talk-radio airwaves. Why are they so angry? Michael Kimmel has spent hundreds of hours in the company of these angry white men-from white supremacists to men's rights activists to young students-in pursuit of an answer. Kimmel proposes a theory of aggrieved entitlement: a sense that the benefits to which white men long believed themselves entitled have been snatched from them. Kimmel locates the increase in anger with a growing social, political, and economic gender gap, twinned with an ideology of masculinity that makes America's white men feel empty and alone. Although they have been facing years of underemployment and wage stagnation, mainstream American discourse rarely discuss class issues. So when America's white men feel they've lived their lives the "right" way-worked hard-and still do not get the rewards to which they believe they are entitled, then they have to blame somebody else. Anybody else"--.
