For two decades, New York City cinephiles had access to a treasure trove of rare and esoteric films through Kim's Video. Originally run by the enigmatic Yongman Kim out of his dry-cleaning business, his franchise eventually amassed 55,000 rental titles. In 2008, facing a changing industry, Mr. Kim offered to give away his collection provided that it stay intact and be available to Kim's Video members. In a bid to revitalize tourism, the small Italian village of Salemi, Sicily became home to the archive. But after the initial publicity faded, so too did any sign of the collection. Enter filmmaker David Redmon, who credits Kim's Video for his film education. With the ghosts of cinema past leading his way, Redmon embarks on a seemingly quixotic quest to track down what happened to the legendary collection and to free it from purgatory.

O filme, baseado em eventos de uma ação judicial de 1998, segue um fazendeiro que desafia um grande conglomerado quando a canola geneticamente modificada (OGM) da empresa é descoberta em sua plantação. Como ele fala contra as práticas de negócios da empresa, ele percebe que ele está representando milhares de outros agricultores privados de direitos em todo o mundo lutando na mesma batalha. De repente, ele se torna um herói folclórico desavisado em uma guerra desesperada para proteger os direitos dos agricultores e a oferta mundial de alimentos contra o que eles vêem como ganância corporativa.
