Citizen Koch (2014)

Director: Carl Deal and Tia Lessin
Run Time: 86 min.

"In 'Citizen Koch,' the directors’ subject is an entire country that is drowning, metaphorically speaking, in corporate snake oil. The death of democracy ought to be the biggest story in journalism. But dividing the drama between 300 million citizens leaves it lost in a cloud of sleep-inducing defeatism. . . . Most of the movie is a backgrounder on the Citizens United case, in which a deeply divided Supreme Court opened the door to truckloads of campaign cash from tycoons and corporations."
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
