They come at you from all sides: hustlers, scam artists, identity
thieves and, yes, robocalls. They’re well organized, those robo callers. They
constantly change their addresses and approaches. They often pose as IRS agents,
or your credit card company but they all have one thing in common: they are out
to part you from your money.
Imagine what a mine field this is for many of the elderly
and other trusting people. Lives have been ruined by some of these obnoxious
scams. But help is on the way. Lawmakers are working on solutions, but we all
know how long that takes. In the meantime, how about a little vicarious
revenge? Robocall, an award-winning feature film, takes on this subject and
puts a fist in the face of the scammers. It won’t make the problem go away, but
you might find some relief in this timely drama.
Robocall follows a few days in the life of G.T. Benz, a
veteran and widower, yearning to see his long-absent daughter, “Trish,” before
he dies. Doing his best to live out his remaining days in “peace and dignity,”
he fights a daily battle with internet crooks, and malign door-bangers all ramping
up the normal stress of loneliness and aging. Give it a look. You might just
feel better for it.
Robocall is now available ITunes!
