Shedding Light on the Illusive World of Multi-Level Marketing
Four people. One MLM startup. $1,000 each. What could go wrong?
In 2006, four strangers each put down $1,000 to join Agel — a brand new multi-level marketing startup out of Provo, Utah. Over 18 months, cameras followed them across the USA and Japan as they chased the promise of residual income, financial freedom, and the entrepreneurial dream.
Shot from 137 hours of footage, The Downline traces the roots of network marketing and delivers a balanced, often funny, sometimes heartbreaking look at the people who bet everything on the business others call a pyramid scheme.
Featuring tongue-in-cheek animation by illustrator Scott Jarrard that breaks down the mechanics of MLM — and an original soundtrack by Chad Gracey and Patrick Dahlheimer of the band Live.
