Under the inluen$e: a film against TNC lobbying

UNDER THE INFLUEN$E

 

UNDER THE INFLUEN$E raises one of the most important questions the American people have ever faced – has our democracy been stolen? Fusing secrecy with big money, global corporations and private interests have gradually gained control of our government and are now writing laws that dismantle our great republic….  If the “voice of the people” has been overtaken by corporate domination, is there any way to restore our democracy?  Documentary filmmakers, Terry Bennett and Sam Oliver say yes there is! They began their investigative journey by asking the American people this very question. What started as a conversation with ordinary citizens grew into a dialog with authors, activists, scientists, journalists, business leaders, political candidates and historians. But more importantly the documentary presents evidence from across the land that a new national awakening is at hand. This intersection of awareness and action is the perfect opportunity to launch the revolutionary reform our government needs, and could be the catalyst to restore our democracy.
