A wealthy banker with a corrupt past and a faltering marriage wants to reverse course. He meets a young intellectual and they agree to make a film that exposes the common fiber binding humanity- communication. The film shows that people at both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum inherently wish for the same thing. They demonstrate the importance of removing the middleman (media and government), as agents of influential spin when people around the world talk to one another freely. As publicity prior to the film's launch builds, a phenomenon starts. People begin placing two-way cameras everywhere. The cameras become ubiquitous, cycling their inputs and outputs at random, translating language in real time, democratizing the power of human dialogue. As cameras proliferate, communication is forced upon the world and those who adapt excel. Those individuals and organizations who avoid the sea change find their positions in society remaining stagnant or worsening. Part One is a philosophical roller-coaster and Part Two an action-packed race to the film debut.
