Synopsis

Are you a sheep, a herder or a wolf? You've got the power to choose. Choose wisely...

At a bar with college friends celebrating the end of the fall term, Jeff hears José declare, “Society operates by two mandates: Might Makes Right, and the Many Serve the Few...”

Troubled by those assertions Jeff questions, “What are you saying, José? That we’re not a country governed by laws, offering equal opportunity for all?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying my good man,” José responds. “Throughout all of human history, the masses have served the few. The peasants have always served the powerful – those bold enough to seize power. Times haven’t changed. Human nature hasn’t changed. That we acquire debt and shackle ourselves in servitude is not by happenstance. The system always evolves to ensure the many serve the few. We just happen to be the many.”

Home for winter break, Jeff discusses José assertions with his grandfather, Papa. Over a cribbage match Papa shares an illuminating tale of creation: SHEEP, HERDERS, WOLVES to explain why we are where we are and who really possesses the power.

“Thought-provoking, scary and inspiring all at the same time.”

Sheep, Herders, Wolves reveals the prevailing truth about our divisive politics and our winner-take-all economics, ultimately reminding us: the power rests with the people and it’s up to the people to use that power well.
