RUTHLESS: MONOPOLY'S SECRET HISTORY
"The game you know. The story you don't."
Directed by Stephen Ives
America’s favorite board game, Monopoly, is a love letter to unbridled capitalism and the impulses that make our free-market society tick. Contrary to the folksy legend spread by Parker Brothers, Monopoly’s origin involves a radical feminist and a community of Quakers in Atlantic City.
