THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND is a startling and often hilarious exploration of the overwhelming corporate takeover of American life. Over the course of three years, the filmmakers traveled across the U.S., interviewing award-winning authors, historians, media commentators and ordinary citizens about the wide range of ways individuals and society at large experience this impact.
The film weaves together an array of subjects-- branding and consumerism, media conglomeration, political kickbacks and the largest economic gap between the rich and the poor in the United States since the 1920’s--shedding light on the ways corporations have seeped into every corner of people’s personal lives.
From New York to California, both experts and average Americans express their views and share their experiences on the subject of corporate influence. Along the way, the filmmakers capture the remarkable stories of some fiery individuals who are taking action into their own hands and fighting back.The film is a moving and powerful exposé of the current state of democracy and a wry look the myth of the American Dream. It proves that every individual can make a difference, even when pitted against the enormous powers of big business.
