Freeburg

Freeburg details how a sick and tired city in Florida became the first in America to institute the universal mandate to vote. A young history teacher named Saul McGinty is prematurely disillusioned by the darkest moments in his own nations history and his own. As he finds himself speechless before his young charges, his life grinding to a lonely halt in Ohio, hes called back to Freeburg to clean up his childhood home after the apparent suicide of his estranged father, a wounded and whacked-out veteran of the first Gulf War, whos left behind clues for his son to find that point instead to a nation-changing idea that hes purportedly been killed to squash.

Though sobering, Freeburg is also a silly, studied, heartfelt, and honest depiction of some of our most embarrassing modern mistakes. It offers a seemingly simple solution to many of Americas modern woes and a path of redemption to restore its esteem in the eyes of the world.
