Priceless

Bullfrog Films • 55m

Directed by Steve Cowan • Documentary • 2011 • 58 minutes

PRICELESS examines the growing cost of federal elections, the impact of political campaign fundraising on members of Congress and on policymaking, and the citizen movement to limit the "undue influence" of large campaign donors.
