In 1970 a man named Michael Brody, the little known heir to a margarine fortune, became the most talked about person on the planet by offering to give away his multi-million dollar fortune. A self-described hippie, Michael Brody had been known by friends as a lonely but very generous young man. Mostly abandoned by his rich parents, Michael grew up in the care of nannies and housekeepers and developed a disdain for the fortune he would one day inherit.
Then came the hippie movement of the late 60s and Woodstock and the drug culture, all of which would come to alter the course of Michael’s life. Inspired by the peace, love, and unity of the Hippie ethos, Michael Brody launched a crazy idea: he would give away his millions of dollars to anyone who needs it. Brody passed along the word to a newspaper which immediately put him on the front page and launched a bizarre phenomenon that revealed the dark underbelly of American poverty.
