This film is timely as Americans become more aware of the influence of money especially since the Citizens United decision.
According to Rhoda Schermer, Chairperson of NJPPN, Democracy is fragile. It requires everyone’s involvement, transparency, factual information, discussion and a search for the best policies that serve the public. Probably the greatest threat to democracy is the influence of money. While the Koch Brothers are the focus of this film, they are but one example of money influencing elections and policy. Americans need to become well informed because our democratic process is at stake.”
