The Story of Citizens United v. FEC

Video

The Story of Stuff Project: 'The crisis of corporate influence over American democracy is the latest subject of award-winning Internet filmmaker, Annie Leonard, who, on March 1, released 'The Story of Citizens United v. FEC,' an animated short. Leonard, who directs The Story of Stuff Project, was inspired to make the film by the disastrous 2010 US Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC that permitted corporations to spend freely to influence American elections. The eight-minute film, available March 1 at http://www.storyofcitizensunited.org , places corporate influence - not bad politicians - at the heart of Americans' low confidence in the political process.'
