Woody Harrelson narrates this survey of how modern democracy has been captured by corporate and financial power, built from interviews with academics, journalists, and former insiders rather than a single narrative thread. The film moves through the mechanics it says are broken: corporate lobbying's grip on legislation, a media system dependent on advertising dollars from the industries it covers, and a two-party system that former officials describe as offering voters less real choice than it appears to. Talking heads including economists and political scientists lay out how campaign financing, revolving-door regulation, and consolidated media ownership reinforce each other. Archival news clips and statistics are used to back specific claims about wealth concentration and corporate influence on policy. The film's argument is cumulative rather than built around one case study, stacking example after example of institutions that were meant to check power instead serving it. It ends less with a solution than with a call to recognize the pattern before treating any single scandal as an isolated failure.
