I'm annoyed by partisan documentaries which aim to help their side's cause to the detriment of being enlightening or informative. This is definitely one of them. It (rightly) blames the disproportionate affect that money has on elections, and how it hinders the vote of the common people. I agree 100%.
Unfortunately it only looks at it from the perspective of the left, and attacks corporations. It makes the Koch brothers (and Adelson) boogeymen. It's extremely partisan. And that is about as informative as when the right blames everything on Soros and labor unions. Guess what? Rich politically active donors have a massive impact on elections, whether it is left or right. Organized single party interest groups provide substantial support to candidates, whether it is right (guns, pro-life, religion, etc) or left (atheists, minorities, LGBT, unions, pro-choice, etc.)
The topic of campaign finance reform is even more pressing in 2020 when Bloomburg has spent over $100 million dollars before even the first primary was held. Yet, the left won't criticize him for this because he's on their team. Yet I find it as distasteful as when Trump with his enormous wealth enters politics and drowns out the voices of regular people.
In summary, if you're looking for an honest and objective documentary that exposes the problems of campaign finance, you better keep looking. If you're looking at a shallow documentary that supports your side, which you won't learn much from, this is it!
