A s a true American hero and one of history's most inspirational characters, Henry George's
personal life story alone would make an exciting feature-length documentary. But there is a great deal more that
makes this story so compelling.
Simply put, George's ideas are more relevant today than ever before. We firmly believe that
his strategy for achieving a thriving economy is an idea whose time has come; a plan that
demands to be reckoned with now. With the worldwide distribution of a film of this scope, our
sense tells us that "Abundance" will capture the imagination
of the people more effectively than ever before – more powerfully than any prior effort to
address the subject of Economic Justice.
George's ideas have proven themselves incontrovertible, only to be crushed time and time
again by greedy, power-obsessed vested interests who have placed their own gratification
above the public good. How do we best prepare the world to drop the resistance and embrace
the remedy?
A popular and successful cultural phenomenon is always a key component in the struggle to
inspire minds and hearts. People respond not only to ideas, but first and foremost to stories,
to songs, to men and women of extraordinary character. We submit that this film
will be just such a phenomenon. It is the most potent method of galvanizing and uniting
today's confused and fragmented world.
And the time is ripe. Already, numerous leaders from otherwise polarized and opposing
camps have voiced their agreement with George's philosophy – including the Occupy and
Tea Party movements, political Independents, and a growing disenchanted constituency from
among all the major parties. Together, these movers and shakers can become a formidable
unifying force to elicit action for positive change. Together, as this film amplifies
public awareness and commands attention around the globe, we will be empowered to
promote and pursue the implementation of George's brilliant, just, and eminently sensible
economic policy.
Moreover, "Abundance" the Documentary is not all we have up our sleeves. To further
fortify this plan, an effective blogging and social-media campaign, and "The Prophet of San Francisco", a powerful new
feature film, are also
in the works.
With a carefully designed marketing strategy, our expectation is that this film will
usher in world-wide awareness for this idea whose time has come.
This inspiring and entertaining film will stir the soul, satisfy the mind, and kindle a flame in the
public heart.
Based on the principles and ideas of Henry George
