Synopsis
Telemarketers chronicles the darkly comedic, unexpected 20-year journey of two unlikely office buddies, who stumble upon the murky truth behind the work they’ve been doing – persuading people to give money to charities – and vow to expose the crooked industry from within. As amateur sleuths looking to shine a light on the billion-dollar scam, with raucous insider access and raw eyewitness footage, the film is a madcap story of an unruly, low-wage environment and two long-time office buddies who find themselves hot on the trail of a sobering look at the dark side of American capitalism and the misuse of consumer trust.
