In an era of growing economic anxiety and stark inequality, former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich takes to the road in this urgent and compelling documentary. Armed with charts, conviction, and a whiteboard, Reich argues that the American economic system is not a force of nature but a set of rules—rules that have been steadily rewritten to benefit the powerful at the expense of the many. The film, directed by Jacob Kornbluth and Sari Gilman, follows Reich as he engages with citizens across the political spectrum, from truck stops to corporate boardrooms, demystifying complex financial concepts and challenging the narrative of a "free market" operating without interference. This insightful journey reveals the central conflict not as one between capitalism and socialism, but as a struggle over who controls the rules of the capitalist game itself, making a powerful case for why saving capitalism might require reclaiming it for everyone.
