Countably Uncommon: A Feature Documentary

Essay documentary about the American Retirement system.

Synopsis

Told in first person how from across the country two teenage runaways run into each other, stumble, struggle, and bond as conjugate pairs building a life together. When one is thrust into the role of corporate whistleblower protecting retirement dreams, there is nowhere to run too.

Watch, listen and walk the steps of a three-time corporate whistleblower as he notices problem after problem with how your 401k, 403b, 457 and pension plans are mis-managed behind the scenes. Watch as they rob Peter to pay Paul, stockpile penalties till you earn virtually nothing, they lie to the auditors and the auditors never find the broken formulas, they lie to their customers. Learn how limited the regulatory authority in place to protect you, actually is. The state regulators waste 3 years investigating but are impotent to enforce proper corrections.

Whistleblowers are politicized, stigmatized and systematically destroyed. Walk the steps of being faced with decisions so clear, and yet so few take. The toll society extracts from people placed in positions of great responsibility, when they fight the system for what is right.

UPDATE Dec 1st, 2023, I am excited to announce the release of short video during the first days of January 2024 that summarizes with voice over why this documentary is so important. The goal is a short and powerful summary outlining the nature and magnitude of the state of Oregon's failure to the public. This short, focused and disturbing video of systematic abuses and failures to manage and protect your retirement is designed to be easily digestible and portable.

UPDATE Sept 29, 2023. Going fully public on X/Twitter. Link to X/Twitter towards bottom of page X symbol. @Richdow17
