Disturbing BBC film documentary about how America secretly chooses it’s leadership.

Every year in America one fifth of all students join a powerful and secret society which is known as ‘The Greek System’. The men are enticed into Fraternity Houses, and in stark contrast, the women are wooed into Sorority Houses. Joining gives the students a life long advantage over others and at the University of Iowa, recruitment is about to begin. 

Filmed in 1998 during the attempts to impeach former Fraternity student, President Bill Clinton.

From the vital BBC2 strand “Under the Sun”, looking at people and cultures in a changing world.
