Tagline: Recovering arms dealer travels into former “enemy” territory, Cuba, Kerala and Slovenia, returning with uplifting women-led societal solutions that could save the world-on-the-brink his 11-year-old son will inherit.

Imagine… the world’s wealthy consume less, while the poor exit poverty, resulting in fewer yet healthier children, easing the sixth extinction, hunger and climate change. A self-reinforcing cycle where all win.

Our film is a father-son story of transformation from entanglement with the American Promise, U.S imperialism, and war. Jim Merkel sets off on a radical journey to save his son Walden’s world, an allegory for saving our shared future. He draws on his global sustainability network to showcase cutting-edge programs in places “poor” by US standards yet rich in world-saving light-living practices. His travels expose how far the U.S. has fallen behind Kerala, Cuba and Slovenia, which all embraced the UN Millennium Goals of gender/ecological/social justice decades ago, something America struggles to do. A wake-up call for political and personal action and a new post-pandemic American dream based not in a nostalgic myth of greatness, but in the true story of working-class American thrift and altruism that once prevailed.
