We all know Washington is broken. Our federal government's spending, regulations and tax breaks are deeply corrupted in favor of the special interests that lobby it. Fed up with the status quo, Americans keep electing people who pledge to change it, to no avail. Why?

With expert testimony from high-ranking officials, Unrepresented reveals that what is stopping the Federal government from enacting popular reforms is the corrupt way it is financed. Through large investments in lobbying and election campaigns, special interests exercise undue control over elected officials. In return, these same officials provide massive rewards to their investors with spending and tax breaks financed by limitless debt obtained from banks, foreign governments and other wealthy financiers. This cycle of corruption gives unchecked political power to unelected individuals.

Unrepresented also introduces unprecedented movements to break this cycle. By passing laws at the State-level, Americans are building momentum to force Congressional action on these issues or to bypass it entirely by holding a Convention to amend the US Constitution.

The film exposes how Democratic and Republican party leaders alike encourage the belief that the political divide is wider than ever to help maintain control. Interviewees with perspectives from across the political spectrum show that most agree on passing basic reforms to outlaw the wanton corruption both parties practice, but Congress just won't pass them.

Unrepresented presents the opportunities and challenges faced by the committed public servants, nonpartisan activists, and everyday Americans working to fix the broken system before it's too late.
