When 21-year-old hippie-millionaire Michael Brody Jr. decided to give away his $ 25 million fortune to anyone in need, he ignited a psychedelic spiral of events. Fifty years later, an enormous cache of these letters are discovered, unopened. Award-winning director Keith Maitland reveals the incredible story of Michael Brody Jr. and the countless struggling Americans who sought his help to create a deeply moving meditation on desire, need, philanthropy, and love.
