The Swamp

A realistic and disheartening view of the realities of our government and the corruption within. Beginning and ending are very good, the middle tends to drag....however I recommend that everyone should see how our congress really works

This "HBO" political doc called "The Swamp" highlights the corruption and greed that is so common with politics as how each party and outside lobby folks and super PAC's pour crazy money into the political game. However the film highlights and spotlights three Trump warrior supporting congressman in Florida's Matt Gaetz, Kentucky's Thomas Massie, and Colorado's Ken Buck each who are bucking the system and trying to bring change with their libertarian like ways of not being yes men and accepting huge donations from lobby guys and outside sources. All are apart of the newly formed Freedom Caucus as they also have a priority to fight against excessive wars and to much military funding. The doc is well backed with interviews, speech clips, and news footage that supports all three. Really the film gives insight to new hope in D.C. as it tries to bring new ways and fight the current good old boys political structure. No matter what side of the aisle you support if you follow politics watch this interesting eye opening informative doc.

This movie beautifully depicts how the system is broken and what we can do to fix it. It portrays and humanizes both major political parties. Well worth your time.

Basically, a story of who Matt Gaetz is, and who he thinks he is!😏

This documentary why both political parties are stuck on stupid --and the conclusion is, MONEY! Ro Khanna (Dem) and Matt Gaetz (Rep) don't want to take money from lobbyists or PAC accounts, but they need to stay in Congress. This shows an pretty even-handed view of the stratification in DC today.
