American Salesman
Directed by: Charles C. Nwachukwu
When the family business starts to fail, Anderson Cavanaugh, in a last-ditch effort to right the sinking ship, enlists with the Solomon Corporation, a paramilitary organization of door-to-door Bible salesmen. From the horrors of basic training to the mean streets of suburbia, every moment of Anderson’s new life is caught on tape by a crack team of documentarians tasked with making the Solomon Corporation’s annual corporate video.
