Fixing America is a journey across the byways of America interviewing citizens who offer solutions to fix America's problems. Fixing America claims that the "ordinary" American people are those most suited to disentangle problems and crucial issues, saying that they are the ones who deal with complexity everyday, struggling to make ends meet and put their children through college.
In this documentary the interviewees offer simple ideas, without conveying the need for simplicity. They refer to the forefathers, the Constitution, and historical events during America's history. The documentary includes appearances from scholars such as professors Lawrence Kotlikoff, John Friar, and Khalil Habib; journalists such as Dylan Ratigan and Louie Free and activists such as Lew Ward, Grover Norquist, Steve Forbes, Robert Scott, Ned Ryun, and Scott Paul.
