Synopsis

Twenty-one-year-old entrepreneur Prince Jordan Tyson is determined to create a better future—not only for himself, but for America.

Recently separated after losing his first wife and child. now raising a second daughter with his new relationship, Jordan pours every ounce of energy into entrepreneurship. His notebook becomes a blueprint for more than one hundred business ideas, each aimed at solving real-world problems.

Most people see impossible dreams.

Jordan sees opportunity.

Among all his ideas, one stands above the rest—

The Wall Magazine.

Printed on recycled hemp paper and devoted entirely to environmental awareness, keeping the public safe from harm, sustainable living, industrial hemp, clean technology, and ecological responsibility, it becomes one of the nation’s most unique publications.

Its mission is simple:

Protect the planet.

Protect future generations.

The magazine quickly gains attention across Colorado.

Jordan begins covering environmental rallies, political campaigns, and grassroots organizations from the steps of the Colorado State Capitol.

There he meets gubernatorial candidate Ken Gorman, who recognizes Jordan’s determination and welcomes him into the political arena.

Together they campaign throughout Colorado while Jordan documents a growing national movement alongside environmental organizations and hemp advocates.

But Jordan wants to do more than report history—

He wants to help create it.

He establishes what he believes is the world’s first organization devoted exclusively to medical marijuana patients, supported by physicians, attorneys, and community leaders.

Soon his work brings him to Sacramento, California.

There he becomes immersed in the growing debate surrounding Proposition 215, meeting activists, organizers, and advocates working to change California law.

As political tensions rise, Jordan interviews lawmakers, activists, physicians, and public officials while documenting every moment with cameras, tape recorders, and stacks of research.

His magazine becomes a growing voice within the movement.

Then everything changes.

Federal agents raid his offices.

Computers disappear.

Hard drives vanish.

Years of research are gone.

Cash.

Contracts.

Equipment.

Everything.

Most people would quit.

Jordan refuses.

The very next morning he walks into the California State Capitol carrying a polished gold sphere—his unmistakable symbol of determination—and demands answers.

No one can explain what happened.

No one can locate his magazine.

But they cannot stop him.

As California’s medical marijuana movement continues to grow, Jordan remains committed to documenting its evolution while pursuing new businesses and refusing to let adversity define his future.
