Insightful: Needed More Background Research

We follow Steve Bannon though a profanity embedded journey as he first joins Trump during his campaign espousing populist views (using fear/hate to divide the working class) & economic nationalism (a form of greed in which national productivity is pushed as local, but working poor pay w/higher costs for goods/services & wealthy get tax breaks). We follow him as he and Trump support Roy Moore's candidacy for the Senate. Odd contrast as Moore served during the Vietnam War & Trump using a family physician's waiver for what most people have & usually do not notice - a bone spur avoided that service. Next we see his popularity w/Breitbart News talk radio w/backing from very wealthy conservative families, e.g. Gun Wengui (aka Miles Kwok) wanted by the Chinese government for a variety of illegal problems. After leaving Breitbart he goes to Europe to support their unease over immigration by again espousing populism. Finally, a lot more profanity & references to George Soros.

Watch American Dharma instead

This is ok but if you're interested in Bannon as a subject American Dharma is a much better film.
