Description:

Assholes: A Theory investigates the breeding grounds of contemporary “asshole culture” - and locates a few hopeful signs of civility in an otherwise rude-'n-nasty universe. Venturing into a predominantly male domain, Walker moves from the frat clubs of elite colleges to the bratty princedoms of Silicon Valley and bear pits of international finance. Why do entitled assholes thrive in certain environments? What explains their perverse appeal and success? And how do they keep getting elected! The film includes interviews with John Cleese, Saule Omarova, Leslie Miley, Sherry Lee Benson-Podolchuk, Robert Hockett, Paul Purcell, and Vladimir Luxuria. <1h 21mn>
