SHIELDED BY POWER is a feature documentary investigating one of the most controversial political and legal stories of the modern era — the federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s business and tax affairs, and the whistleblowers who came forward alleging obstruction, preferential treatment, and suppression of key evidence.

Produced in collaboration with Empower Oversight, the film follows IRS Supervisory Special Agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, whose testimony before Congress brought national attention to claims of a dual system of justice within the Department of Justice. Through firsthand accounts, documented evidence, and interviews with journalists, legal experts, and investigators, Shielded by Power examines how decisions at the highest levels of government may have influenced the outcome of a politically sensitive case.

The documentary explores allegations of DOJ interference, media suppression surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the broader implications for transparency, accountability, and public trust in federal institutions. Featuring commentary and reporting from notable figures including Miranda Devine, John Solomon, Matt Taibbi, Mike Benz, John Paul Mac Isaac, and others, the film pieces together a timeline of events that raises urgent questions about equal application of the law.

At its core, Shielded by Power is about the role of whistleblowers in a democracy — and what happens when individuals risk their careers to bring forward information they believe the public deserves to know. The film aims to provide viewers with a clear narrative of the facts, the disputes surrounding them, and the larger societal implications regarding government power, media influence, and the pursuit of truth.

Shielded by Power is produced by Fruition Productions in partnership with Empower Oversight and is part of an ongoing effort to document stories where accountability, transparency, and public interest intersect.
