A documentary exploring the impact of corporate power on affordability and the erosion of democratic representation.
In the wealthiest economy in human history,
in a nation defined by self-governance,
nearly half of the American workforce is denied a living wage.
A Microcosm of National Issues
Missoula's Affordability Crisis
Missoula has emerged as the microcosm of a national crisis. Driven by a wave of rural gentrification, the city faces one of the country’s most severe affordability gaps. With a staggering 8-to-1 ratio between home prices and local incomes, even working professionals are being priced out of the Big Sky dream.​ Through local testimony and expert analysis, this film dissects the struggle between citizen sovereignty and the encroachment of the corporatocracy—challenging the integrity of the American experiment.​
The Montana Plan
In January, the Transparent Election Initiative unveiled The Montana Plan—a breakthrough legal strategy designed to nullify Citizens United at the state level by limiting corporate powers. The ballot initiative was certified on March 11th and has begun the signature gathering process. The initiative is called I-194 and needs to complete the signature collection process by June 19th.

The film documents this bipartisan effort to challenge corporate spending in Montana politics. If successful, The Montana Plan will provide a blueprint for all fifty states to reclaim political power from dark money and corporate interests.​
