Synopsis
This disturbing and timely documentary by Kimberly Reed (Prodigal Sons) delves into the democratic threat that is the influence of untraceable corporate money being funneled into our political system. After the decision in Citizens United, “dark” money flooded elections across the country. The film, Dark Money, focuses specifically on Montana, where we meet a fearless local investigative journalist (John Adams) as he “follows the money” to reveal just how damaging donor anonymity and a general lack of transparency are to our democracy. A must-see for every American.

Atom User Reviews
Wonderful film. Great ticket strategy
Metacritic
Reed follows the proceedings as they happen and builds the suspense of a top-notch courtroom drama.
Kimberly Reed’s taut documentary is also damning, clear-eyed, and as gripping as any John Grisham thriller.
As Ravel puts it, the disproportionate influence of money on elections isn’t a Democratic or Republican problem, but a “gateway issue to every other issue you might care about.” Dark Money makes the case, as well as any film can, that she’s pretty much right on the money.
