Otherwise I've found the pieces that they choose to air pretty much middle of the road leaving the viewer to come to a conclusion on their own.
Is this documentary any different do you think? Does it seem like it began from a position that is anti-rich for example? Or what's the dealio?

i would tend to agree that pbs reports are less biased than other news agencies. i think they take more of a backseat with their documentary series'. frontline, for instance, well-done but can certainly take a side, which is fine with me, i am not suggesting all documentaries should be completely unbiased.
what i am saying is this doc strikes me as misaligned. it takes 2 groups of people that happen to live on the same street yet are worlds apart and concludes that the reason the one group can't achieve the american dream is due to the other group.
there's more to the story, particularly from the other side in a time of entitlement thinking.
