The film, executive produced by Michael Tubbs, the founder of Mayors for a Guaranteed Income (MGI), examines how providing everyday people with an additional $500 to $1,000 per month, with no conditions attached, can offer financial stability and restore dignity.

The documentary serves as a compelling call to action for policymakers to consider guaranteed income as a means to address poverty and inequality.
