In this searing exposé on the state of democracy
in America and the fracturing of the Republican Party,
Academy Award-nominated directors Carl Deal and
Tia Lessin (directors of Trouble the Water; co-producers
of Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine) follow
the money behind the rise of the Tea Party. Citizen
Koch investigates the impact on the electoral process
of the unlimited and anonymous spending by
corporations and billionaires. Alternately terrifying and
funny, this eye-opening film is an essential and powerful portrait
of our political times.
Co-director Tia Lessin will participate in a Skype Q&A on Friday, July 25, at 8:45 p.m. and
Saturday, July 26, at 5:30pm.
