All About The Money

A son of one of America’s wealthiest families creates a communist revolutionary base in rural Massachusetts. For him it’s a means of disrupting the capitalist system he grew up in, but has now come to despise. It’s the starting point of an astonishing journey. 
 
Fergie Chambers is an heir to one of the wealthiest families in American history. As a communist he has the ability to create his vision of the world in a way that few people do. He funds people and projects – like a Marxist-Leninist collective in Massachusetts – that seek to destroy the hypercapitalist structure that he himself is a product of. With his resources, it should be easy. But why isn’t it?  
 
From director Sinéad O’Shea comes a fascinating study of the power money has to make and destroy, and what access to astronomical wealth does to a person and those around him. All About the Money is a documentary for our times of concentrated wealth and power, and the dream of creating another world while still being mired in this one.
