Dark Money Free Screening + Q&A

Dark Money, a political thriller, examines one of the greatest present threats to American democracy: the influence of untraceable corporate money on our elections and elected officials. Filmed primarily in Montana, this Sundance award-winning documentary follows Montana Free Press founder and editor-in-chief, John S. Adams, during his time as an investigative journalist working to expose the real-life impacts of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision on Montana elections.
