ln this searing expose of the state of democracy in America, Academy-Award nominated filmmakers Carl DeaI and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water; producers of Fahrenheit 9/11 & Capitalism: A Love Story) foIIow the rise of the Tea party and the trail of money unleashed by the US Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling. A citizen uprising to recaIl Wisconsin Gov. Scott WaIker collides with the Tea Party-aligned "Americans for Prosperity," founded and lavishly financed by two of the world's richest men - bilIionaire brothers David and CharIes Koch, who are among WaIker's biggest financiaI supporters. As RepubIican working class voters find themseIves in the crosshairs of their own party and its billionaire backers, they are focused to choose sides. Weathering a storm of censorship controversy (public teIevision officiaIs puIled funding for the film out of fears that it wouId upset one of their Iargest donors, David Koch) Citizen Koch now stands as an essentiaI and powerful portrait of our poIiticaI times. |
