About Moneyocracy-project

Moneyocracy is a transmedia documentary taking place during the 2012 U.S Presidential race. Its goal is to look at how campaign funding is affecting the democratic process. The story takes its roots in the 2010 F.E.C versus Citizens United Supreme Court decision and analyses its consequences on U.S elections and for Americans. What are the legal & political implications of this decision? Is this the beginning of a new era when corporations will shape the political arena as their businesses ? The project focuses on the rise of SuperPACs and their affiliated organisations the 501c4, their influence in the political debate during the 2012 election and beyond. An interactive documentary (i-doc), a documentary and a comic book will support the story, each one of them exploring a specific issue, allowing the "spectactor" to discover the real influence of corporate money in contemporary elections.
