Synopsis

A fake documentary about the economic decline of a fictional town in upstate New York. A blue-collar place where they once cranked out aircraft for the war, Dadetown is now dependent on the last remnants of real industry: the bending of paper clips and staples. Along comes API, a corporation so close to the pulse of cyberspace that no one can really define what it does.
