Americathon background

Americathon

A struggling TV consultant takes on a high-stakes project, tasked by the President to orchestrate a telethon to save the bankrupt United States from being seized by wealthy Native American investors.

In a future where the US government teeters on the brink of collapse, a cash-strapped President resorts to a last-ditch effort to save the nation by hosting a telethon to raise much-needed funds, all while facing the looming threat of foreclosure by a group of Native American owners of the powerful Nike Corporation.
