Who Loses Wins

WHO LOSES WINS - a cynical tragedy of cowardly bravery. A private Australian entrepreneurial country-town company goes reluctantly into Receivership and is taken over by a senseless ex-Government body to be gradually destroyed for hierarchical personal gain. The tireless workers, used to the real world, are totally perplexed by the unfamiliar culture that inextricably relates academic theory derived from influential Government circles seemingly wasting taxpayer money. Destructive ridicule is continually inflicted on the small band of loyal creative employees by the new management who incorrectly consider them as incompetent country-bumpkins. The workers are perennially informed creativity must exclusively reside in a capital city even though the private company holds many patents on the equipment invented manufactured and sold Worldwide. Joe is a typical engineer and cannot assimilate the wastage, incomprehensible fawning; the character assassination everyone surviving outplacement and downsizing are subjected to. He diverts his spare-time energy into aiding others at Suicides Anonymous only to discover many people looking for help. He uses hypnosis to prevent potential suicides but it innocently goes wrong leading to civil disobedience against Authority that Joe is convicted of deliberately generating. In true 'Yes Minister' fashion, the Government response to the civil disobedience is to commit him to a mental asylum; to assassinate him while transported there by a deliberately misinformed SAS field training exercise. However, what he innocently and in ignorance started extends upwards changing the mentality of the Prime Minister to see it's the voting Workers that definitely make a Country. As Joe dies, he enters the mystic realm of his Overself to see the reasons behind his personal existence; to watch the karmic past-life stream of why earthly experience happens; to recognize everyone in their genuine state of ignorant, blind naked obedience to a culture of governance Workers cannot understand. However, all is merely a daydream while Joe waits uneasily for a contentious interview with the owners of the shallow ex-Government body scarcely managing the private company. They have inadvertently discovered his screenplay about them and must forcibly prevent its development and screening in the sole way they know how. 'Buy' -- shoving money in his pocket!
