About this listen
Afghan war vet Mike Davenport just wants to run his coffee shop in Pittsburgh when he's approached by folks from his forlorn, rust-belt hometown of Pulver Forge to run for mayor. He's shocked at what he sees—everyone has given up. And this is a town that forged the steel that built the tanks and battleships that won WW2! What happened?
Mike decides to run on the most audacious platform ever—everyone who wants a job can have one. The town will heal the sick and feed the hungry. He only asks one thing, and it's not money. Everyone needs to believe the town can do it. They need to shift from “It's hopeless” to “Yes, we can.” He changes the name of the town from “Pulver Forge” to “Prosperity.” Almost overnight, townspeople are growing their own food, picking up trash, and throwing a weekly party for themselves.
It feels like a miracle…but there are powerful forces who liked the town the way it was and who are willing to do whatever it takes to destroy Mike and his friends. This is a tale beyond today's stale right-left, red-blue politics. This is what happens when dreaming meets doing.
