About

"Camcorder chaos that becomes a real investigation"

A documentary that starts as a scrappy home-video record of a chaotic New Jersey telemarketing office full of ex-cons and burnouts, then spirals into something much bigger: a two-decade investigation into where all that donated money actually went. Shot on crummy camcorders by an employee who never stopped filming, it's funny, scrappy, and unexpectedly moving, powered by a genuine friendship and a growing sense of real outrage. The tone shifts from mockumentary chaos to true-crime intensity without ever losing its homemade, lived-in feel.

Watch it for

the way two unlikely friends turn decades of grainy footage into a genuine exposé.

Maybe skip if

you need polished production values or expect a tidy, fast-paced true-crime format.
