According to the disastrous effects of the corporations' money used in elections, this movie discusses that case in order to awake people's awareness to this disaster, and to limit from the large spread of such money, as it leads to unfair results, the thing that threatens America's stability and political system.
Dark Money makes clear that as social media and other parts of the internet continue to merge with the consequences of Citizens United, the opportunities for undetected corporate and foreign influence in elections will only multiply.
The undue influence of money on elections is not exactly news, but the ways in which that influence can now be secured, given the current state of the law, certainly is.
"Dark Money" restores your faith in democracy, as the little, almost voiceless guys stand up to deep-pocketed muckety mucks to expose how the proliferation of PACs have nearly choked the life out of a government for the people, by the people.
The film's basic problem is that it jumps around too much... Still, Reed and her team have boiled down their presentation to a manageable 99 minutes that's fascinating, absorbing, and mind-altering.
The admirable clarity... allows maximum insight as well as maximum outrage. Culprits are named; schemes are floodlit. Only the dullest viewer could fail to engage with Reed's superb nonfiction thriller.
"Dark Money" exposes the dangers of unbridled, anonymous political spending so expertly that it will make you fume with anger, practically quake with distress.
