Casino Jack and the United States of Money

Lobbyists have long played a role in U.S. politics, but the 2006 scandal of Republican super lobbyist Jack Abramoff revealed just how much power they can hold. This compelling documentary chronicles Abramoff's rise and fall─from his early days in the GOP to his four-year prison sentence─and investigates his nefarious defrauding schemes. In this powerful exposé, director Alex Gibney sheds light on the dark side of Washington in which money and power trump all. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: Spanish; deleted scenes; extended scenes; interviews; audio commentary by Gibney; more.
