Rockefeller is seen holding the White House in the palm of his hands; surrounding him, hundreds of oil barrels and the Capitol building pictured as an oil refinery. This image literally symbolizes the power oil companies' —specifically Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company's— power over the economy and the government years after the Civil War.

The believe documentary over A LEGO brickumentary gives people across the world the opportunity to express themselves using their imagination with the LEGO brick.
