Alex Gibney Talks HBO’s ‘The Dark Money Game’ And Upcoming ‘Musk’ Doc: ‘We Have a Lot of Information I Know That Nobody Else Has’
Alex Gibney on HBO's 'The Dark Money Game' and his upcoming 'Musk' documentary: 'We Have a Lot of Information I Know That Nobody Else Has."
“The Dark Money Game” features two docs – “Ohio Confidential” about the corruption case of former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder and “Wealth of the Wicked,” which traces the history of campaign finance back to the creation of the Federal Election Commission in 1975, the 2002 McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill, and the Citizens United decision of 2010 that has molded the shape of present-day super PACs (political action committees). The two-part doc reveals how an untraceable web of money from wealthy individuals and corporations representing business interests or religious agendas flows through non-profits and super PACs to support candidates and political movements. In February, Gibney sold a majority stake in his Jigsaw Productions to billionaire philanthropist Wendy Schmidt, which allowed him to expand the company and keep making political fare.
