The Dark Money Game plot

The docuseries explores the murky world of political donations and fundraising, 15 years after the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which allowed unlimited hidden-source spending for many political campaigns. It features interviews with journalists including Jane Mayer, as well as lawmakers, judges, FBI investigators, whistleblowers and insiders on both sides of the issue. Through two separate narratives, the documentary reveals how an untraceable web of money flows from wealthy individuals and corporations representing business interests or religious agendas through nonprofits and super PACs (political action committees) to support candidates and political movements.
