Documentary Review -- Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal

Remember when a bunch of rich people got a slap on the wrist for bribing their children into universities like Stanford and Yale? Netflix’s newly released documentary, Operation Varsity Blues. The documentary follows the FBI sting operation that revealed the many white-collar parents using the “side door” ploy all designed by Rick Singer. This documentary creates reenactments of the wire-tapped phone calls and spiderweb of connections that this fraudulent scheme created. This documentary covers America’s obsession (but also simultaneous animosity) with the rich. It was an interesting look at manipulating a system often overlooked.
