Capitalist Punishment

by Jason Roth

Intrigue and suspense abound in this film about the deadly role of capital punishment in a society ruled by the dollar. A young newspaper reporter discovers evidence that several whistleblowers, after attempting to come forward to reveal damaging secrets about their company's business practices, have been systematically executed.

Further investigation by the reporter reveals a corporation with a US military contract and a monopoly on a product that vaporizes children who stray too far beyond an invisible electronic fence surrounding a bomb-producing, third-world sweat-shop. The finale, which takes place in a small African country that used to be a happy and prosperous nation, reveals the hard truth about what evil results when American corporations invade foreign lands and give people a way to put more than half a slice of bread in their families' mouths.

A flashback reveals the Marxist utopia later destroyed by capitalism, when unemployed, smiling, happy children were skipping through the mud and playing with rotting corpses while they starved.
