Synopsis:
1. The film will start out with candid questioning of Americans (JBoD's) on the street. They will be asked what they think of the Constitution, what they feel the most important part of it is, and which right from the Bill of Rights they hold most dear. This segment will lay the groundwork for the film by showing American ignorance and reverence for the Constitution. (5-10 mins)
2. Next, the film will launch into a quick history lesson on the Constitution. This will include the enumeration of powers granted to the federal government via the Constitution, and why the Bill of Rights includes what it does.
3. Now that the viewer has a basic comprehension of what the Constitution was designed to do, we will "wow" them with a litany of Federal violations of the Constitution, this list will include, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Executive Branch usurpation of power, paper-money, refusal to recognize same-sex marriage, and the war on drugs, just to name a few.
4. Throughout the film, we will cut to relevant statements by congressmen, scholars, and JBoD's to emphasize the conclusions being drawn about a certain subject.
5. Now that the problems are recognized, Constitution solutions for the problems will be explained.
5. Finally, the film will be summarized with a segment explaining how the Constitution is just as applicable today as it was 222 years ago.
6. During the credits we will show clips from our interviews with JBoD's where we ask them "did you know..." questions about the Constitution to showcase their response when they hear that, for instance, their money is no longer backed by gold and silver.
