Message from the Director
This film is largely based on Thomas Ferguson’s book Golden Rule. Many people appear in it, but it is based primarily on a 5 hour interview I conducted with Ferguson (with the help of 2 fellowand on numerous appearances & interviews with Noam Chomsky. The film offers an in depth look at the influence of money in politics–analyzing social forces and events that the mainstream media and scholarship have largely distorted or kept hidden. It also analyzes the meaning of democracy.
Please note that the film has been released in 2009.
