Bernie Sanders inspired a generation... but who inspired him? Most people in America do not know that the contemporary political movement to address income inequality began over 100 years ago with Eugene Victor Debs. This film traces the history of American populism, with the man who inspired progressive ideas - from FDR's New Deal to Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign. The word 'Socialist' has become an insult and an epithet in today's political landscape. This film defines the word, the history behind it and its contemporary relevance.
