Thousands of years ago a special, genetically advanced race of beings came to Earth. They were seen as Gods by primitive man and worshipped. They set themselves apart and yet some mated with humans and created a special race. When these watchers departed, this hybrid species remained and taught mankind. Civilization emerged with writing, art, science, mathematics, geometry, engineering, architecture and more and spread around the globe. The human race, that had existed for tens of thousands of years as hunter gatherers now had systematic knowledge on a startling level. They organized and cultivated the land, forged steel, built massive pyramids, built empires, and eventually became so technologically bound that the entire race could be monitored and governed with ease. All this transpired seemingly out of nowhere, we do not see archaeological evidence to support the evolution of these staggering advancements but can link it all back to antiquity if we look carefully because the real story is that our benefactors had an ulterior motive. They took control of our hearts and minds; they control this world, they control every individual from the depths of outer space. From the moment you are born, you are numbered and moved through a process to feed their machine. Nobody is truly free because we are all working for the masters. On rare occasions, they are revealed to the world and in the 18th century we had a glimpse of their massive power. We know them as the Illuminati. From huge international corporations, to hidden governments, from secret societies to medicine, the Illuminati are in control.

A profile of Vivienne Westwood is presented using a combination of archive footage, new behind the scenes footage, and interviews with key players including with the subject herself. The profile is shaped partly by Westwood's reluctance to talk about certain aspects of her life, most noticeably her connection to her one-time personal and professional partner Malcolm McLaren and their combined connection to the Sex Pistols, who McLaren formed and managed. Much of the profile is centered on how her three primary personal relationships affected what would be for what she would be most renowned, a fashion designer. Seen as an outsider to the mainstream fashion industry, especially in being the unofficial creator along with McLaren of the look of punk rock, Westwood decided at least to join the mainstream in starting her fashion business and ultimate empire, despite the obstacle of McLaren, so as to have her name officially attached to her creations, which is at the hub of her business philosophy. Most of the profile concerns her partnership, both professional and personal, with her second/current husband, Andreas Kronthaler, who many believed to be a pure opportunist, but that relationship which has ended up being a true collaboration despite it being Westwood's name and fashion empire front and center. The profile also only touches briefly on her staunch environmental activism.
