When hippie-millionaire Michael Brody Jr. decided to give away his fortune to anyone in need, he ignited a psychedelic spiral of events.

Fifty years later, a cache of these letters was discovered—unopened. 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.
