Some people grapple with the moral challenges of treating human beings decently. Others are justโฆ assholes. Inspired by Aaron Jamesโ New York Times bestseller of the same name, this documentary investigates the breeding grounds of contemporary โasshole cultureโ โ and locates signs of civility in an otherwise rude and nasty universe. Venturing into predominantly male domain, this film moves from Ivy League frat clubs to the bratty princedoms of Silicon Valley and the bear pits of international finance. Why do assholes thrive in certain environments? What explains their perverse appeal? And how do they keep getting elected?
