We the People 2.0 is a documentary which highlights the struggle between communities and corporations in a battle for local rights. The story unfolds through the eyes of rural people who have faced decades of toxic dumps, drilling and mines in their communities. We learn with these citizens how powerless they feel, even in ""the best democracy in the world."

People in these communities come to understand that the reason they can’t stop the destruction is that the US has become an oligarchy, run by the corporate few who ignore the rights and will of the people. We The People 2.0 follows people who are challenging our corporate state; thereby saving nature and themselves. Thomas Linzey, a nonprofit attorney and others show how communities can lay claim to their democracy.
