Dans ce film documentaire, le militant des Black Panthers Eldridge Cleaver s’exprime depuis son exil en Algérie, exil provoqué par une accusation de tentative de meurtre en Californie. Le très didactique Eldridge parle ouvertement de la révolution aux États-Unis et établit une liste de ses plus grands rivaux politiques. Les noms de Nixon, Agnew, McClelland apparaissent au même niveau que ceux de Ronald Reagan et Richard Daley. Tous sont considérés comme des cibles pour de nombreux groupes révolutionnaires aux États-Unis.

Tout le monde connaît l'oratorio de Haendel, ici on découvre le Messie de William Klein. L'oratorio est une institution aux Etats-Unis, où innombrables sont les choeurs qui le chantent. La caméra de Klein va les chercher partout, dans les lieux les plus improbables : à Times Square, où se réunit le choeur homosexuel et multiracial de NY, dans une prison de Sugarland, Texas, où les prisonniers entonnent "Un enfant est né, un fils nous est donné", ou encore à Las Vegas, au milieu du nulle part des salles de jeux. http://www.kuiv.com/pages/messie.

Opening remarks by Charlton Heston and Mickey Rooney are used to establish the film’s direction and mood. Introductory scenes quickly dissolve into one laced with sounds of thunder and artillery fire. The setting is atop Niagara Falls where waters cascade over the falls’ edge. Superimposed in the haze are dissolving scenes of American conflicts from the American Revolutionary War through Desert Storm.

Devin Ratray is a musician and besotted admirer of Condoleezza Rice, 'Condi,' who travels across America, learning more about Rice from those who knew her. He speaks to her childhood friends in Birmingham, Alabama. In Denver, Colorado, he performs at Red Rocks, where he meets some of her former teachers, and the one man to whom Rice has been engaged, Rick Upchurch. Upchurch tells Devin that Rice made an oath to God not to have sex before she got married, and deduces that her continued single status and her enduring Christianity confirm that she is still a virgin. Ratray follows Rice's rise to Provost of Stanford University, where he discovers that, while in that position, she departed from the practice of applying affirmative action to tenure. In Los Angeles, he is given courtship advice by Adrian Grenier and cult comedian Jim Norton and is presented with a power ballad to send to Condi from Oscar nominated songwriter Carol Connors. When he arrives in Washington DC, he is assisted by Republican strategist Frank Luntz and is counseled by Newsweek editor Eleanor Clift.
