Tuesday, we continue our Through the Lens series with a film about the influence of corporate cash on our elections. Director Kimberly Reed’s documentary DARK MONEY follows an intrepid journalist fighting to expose the real-life impacts of the Citizens United ruling on Montana’s politics. The film also explores the value of a free press to a healthy democracy. Reed joins us to talk about her film, what’s wrong with our campaign finance system, and what can be done to fix it.

On Wednesday, July 11, RadioWest and the Utah Film Center will present a free screening of Dark Money as part of our Through the Lens series. That's at 7:00 p.m. at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center and director Kimberly Reed and journalist John S. Adams, founder of the Montana Free Press, will join us via Skype for a Q-and-A immediately following the screening. You can get more information, and invite your friends, through our Facebook event.
