Review by MichaelR-637

If this documentary had been about state politics in Illinois, California, Washington State. The result would have been the same. But HBO is not interested in those states because their agenda is about exposing the right. Every crooked politician regardless of party is a scumbag so it's worth watching to educate yourself about campaign finance, redistricting etc. No issue when facts are laid out bare and of course I welcome opinion by those interviewed. But the production trickery turns what should be an educational documentary into a Michael Moore production. Case in point, episode 1 opening scene. Pro abortion protestors outside and inside the state house. The narrator explains how over 60% of Ohio voters approve of abortion but the legislation is majority Republican and pass some of the strictest abortion laws in the country. Then goes on to say that these republican lawmakers are all smiling and laughing it up at the expense of the protestors while the camera pans to these lawmakers smiling and laughing.....it's obvious this did not happen during proceedings. It was either before or after as lawmakers were chatting with their colleagues. Watch it. Judge for yourself.
