| Description: | The fall of super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff has exposed what may be one of the biggest political scandals in America’s history. What does the dizzying scope of corruption say about how laws are made and who really owns the U.S. government? In this program, Bill Moyers and his team of investigative journalists untangle the web of relationships, secret deals, and political manipulation—including thousands of e-mails, reports, and facts on the record—to open a disturbing window on the dark side of American politics. A roundtable discussion with Thomas Frank and Norman Ornstein follows the documentary (22:53 min.); Capitol Crimes in Context (5:11 min.). |
