We The People: The Market Basket Effect chronicles the epic story of the wildly successful Demoulas Super Market family empire that was rapidly pushed to the brink of collapse by greedy shareholders and their representative directors but was ultimately saved by an inspiring groundswell of employee and community support. The chain of events leading up to and including the summer of 2014 cut to the heart of the 30 year old shareholder battle over Market Basket, while the livelihoods of 25,000 employees hung in the balance, and effectively resolved the volatile and emotional family feud in a way that the courts never could.
