As a call to action, writer-director John Ennis (Wild Girls Gone and Free for All!) decides to track the cycle within politics (pay-to-play) that skews the system away from the common voters and the electoral process as imagined by the Founding Fathers to the highest bidders in the game.

With Jack Abramoff, Noam Chomsky and Van Jones. (Opens Friday at The Esquire) (Not Rated) Not screened in time for review
