A behind-the-scenes video diary of the promotional tour for Moore's book "Downsize this!" He appears at several chain bookstores throughout the nation, signing autographs and delivering wicked political commentary to audiences. Along the way, he stops at various small-town parking lots and malls, gathering brief interviews with assorted Americans.

Finally, Nike CEO Phil Knight grants Moore some dialogue
