Moneyocracy (2012)

Moneyocracy, a 2012 documentary, examines the landmark 2010 Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. The Court ruled that the First Amendment prevents the government from limiting independent political spending by corporations and unions. The film details how this decision fundamentally altered U.S. campaign finance laws, resulting in increasingly expensive elections. It explores the resulting corruption within the U.S. democracy and its impact on the country's voters.
