Back when America was Great (for the uber wealthy) there was a side to that rosie picture so many of this day and time don't hear about. But movies have been made about it showcasing the plight of the "non-uber wealthy". The circumstances they had and what they had to endure and fight in order to make a living and receive the respect they were due. Unions were formed at first and later the Government created programs to give "the little guy" a hand up.
Such a movie is "HOFFA".

1941 Black & White movie: Sullivan's Travels
A movie every Nomad should appreciate. About 10 minutes into the movie a British Butler gives a brief speech about not dabbling into the affairs of the poor by the wealthy. Worth listening to.
It is on the list of 100 movies everyone should see before he/she dies. It is funny at times and makes some rather ponente observations at others. But overall it is an enjoyable movie about wealth & poverty in hard times.

For myself, I'd watch Nomad Land first.

The Caine Mutiny & The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
Based on an actual event in late WW2
Mid 1950 movie where a Navy Captain Queeg of a Destroyer/Minesweeper becomes mentally unstable and is relieved of command. The removing the Captain results in a Court Inquiry/Court-Martial for those who thought relieving the Captain was the correct thing to do at the time. The movies sum up why those at the helm are often left unchallenged when those around him realize there is a problem and yet they stand by anxious and yet passively.
Presumably, because the long odds risk of taking action may be far more costly than the benefits for doing so should the effort fail to produce the desired outcome. Risk/Rewards
I found these at the Library on DVD
