THE ORIGINAL SHAREHOLDER EXPERIENCE is a short satire-thriller set in the high-elevation boardrooms of corporate conglomerate THE FREEDOM COMPANY, following true-believer REBECCA, an Indigenous telepresenter nearing the top of her class through selling “authentic” Native memorabilia to her audience on her show, a mix between QVC, Mad Money, and The History Channel.


When she’s asked by her superiors to sell a product that could have genocidal consequences, she must face a decision: is she beholden to her communities and culture, or to the company that gave her success?
