Starting from the 1932 Siamese revolution, Thailand has been experiencing a recurring cycle of military coup d'état. In 2018, Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit, a billionaire businessman became the leader of the Future Forward Party, which strives to establish an anti-military democratic future in the country and registered himself as a Prime Ministerial candidate in the following year. With his charisma and forward-looking vision, Thanathorn successfully garnered phenomenal support from the younger generation. The documentary chronicles how Thanathorn and his team change the conservative and monolithic political landscape of Thailand.
