A documentary that follows Cenk Uygur's transformation from a corporate attorney and unknown talk show host on local Public Access TV to an internet sensation with his online show "The Young Turks," which has amassed over one billion views on YouTube. On a self-imposed mission to speak the truth, Cenk attempts to fix the fundamentally broken system of politics and media in America, attracting a loyal audience and building what he claims is "the largest online news show in the world." Once Cenk ventures from the internet into national television and lands the 6 PM time slot on MSNBC, his uncensored brand of journalism is compromised and Cenk becomes the nexus in the battle between new and old media. 'Mad As Hell' is an American dream story that explores the new media revolution through Cenk's life and tumultuous career.
