In Vermont, writer Mac Parker raises a jaw-dropping $28 million to produce a small grassroots film he calls, "The Birth of Innocence." Local farmers and small businesspeople pitch in because they're familiar with Parker's children's videos such as "Let's Go to the Farm!" and think he's as pure and sweet as Vermont maple syrup. They're wrong. When the credits roll, investors will weep-because less than $1 million of the $28 million raised went to the making of the film. The rest? Tune in and find out what a spiritual guru named Lou Soteriou has to do with Mac Parker's celluloid chimera.
