All About the Money

Sinead O'Shea Ireland 2026 95 min.

The son of one of the wealthiest families in the US establishes a communist revolutionary community in rural Massachusetts, seeking to disrupt the capitalist system he has come to despise. This marks the starting point of a bewildering journey that gradually reveals what access to astronomical wealth does to a person and to those around them.

Fergie Chambers is so wealthy that he can do whatever he wants. He considers himself a communist and establishes a community in Massachusetts, fully financing it himself. Among the residents are Paige Berlanger, who arrives with her boyfriend Justin; Regi, a farmer and father; and Calisha, who says she is simply trying to “keep things clean”. Paige gets arrested following protests while Fergie ultimately flees the country. A relevant documentary in an era of extreme concentrations of wealth and power, about how the ultra-rich can realize their (delusional) ideas without regard for the consequences.
