The Price of power. Money in politics

Description

This documentary zeroes in on the price candidates pay to win election to public office. Media drives campaigns; money drives media. As a result, modern political campaigns have become enormously expensive, with winners often decided by the size of their campaign expenditures. This video investigates where candidates get their money and what they trade in their quest for political power. This thought-provoking program takes a look at wealth and its influence on our First Amendment rights and analyzes the role of money in campaigns, including local, state, and national races.
