What is it about George Soros that brings out the hate in people? Could it be jealousy over the amount of wealth he’s amassed? (People are still stinging from that fateful black Wednesday "The Man Who Broke the Bank of England" bet the farm and took home a billion dollars overnight.) His family survived Germany’s occupation of Budapest — living under fake Christian identities the didn't have to wear the gold stars — but not before his mother was raped by two Nazis. Is it his anti-authoritarian fight for an open society that sparks his opponents rage? (Surely even the most dimwitted among us can’t possibly believe that Soros’ deep pockets finance white supremacist groups.) Supporters of the twice impeached former president demonize Soros for funding Hillary Clinton's war chest. And when all else fails, nothing bolsters a conspiracy theory quite like the crutch of antisemitism. George Soros is the Irwin Jacobs of Warren Buffett's, a munificent force bent on making the world a better place to live, a firm believer that individual voices could band together and shout down totalitarianism. In that sense, Jesse Dylan’s documentary would make a great double-feature with Four Mothers. (2019) — Scott Marks
