On September 17, American citizens took to the streets in protest of the massive disparity between the top 1% whose combined wealth soared by 275% over the last 30 years while the income of the other 99% has stagnated.
Protesters from all walks of life now occupy more than 1200 municipalities throughout America, and the Occupy Movement grows daily especially as each new YouTube video of police squads beating and tear gassing peaceful citizens exercising their constitutional right to petition the government goes viral.
What we are seeing is democracy locked in a life-and-death battle with pure unregulated capitalism. The question that currently confronts Americans is whether we want the important decisions that impact our future made at the ballot box or in the market place!
This true story, set to music, makes the excess and greed of Wall Street which lead to the current worldwide economic crisis personal. Benson feels the pain and decides he's going to get involved in making a difference.
