Uno sguardo provocatorio e sarcastico sull’epoca in cui viviamo. Dopo Fahrenheit 9/11, il vincitore della Palma d’Oro Michael Moore sposta la sua attenzione su un’altra significativa data, il 9 novembre 2016, giorno in cui Donald Trump è stato eletto 45esimo Presidente degli Stati Uniti.

A group of teenagers from Flint, Michigan filmed themselves kidnapping and terrorizing a new acquaintance, before taking her out to a woods and dumping her in a shallow grave. They then taunted their terrified and blindfolded victim asking if she had any last requests before they cut her throat. But was the kidnap real or just a game? Three days later the tape was in the hands of the police and the 5 teenager friends were in custody facing life imprisonment. This program talks to the people at the heart of this story - including two of the defendants - in an attempt to understand what really happened in the woods around Flint last year. It also screens the video of the 'abduction'. What is revealed is an extraordinary and disturbing record of a night when something went terribly, terribly wrong.
