"The Story of Citizens United v. FEC: Why Democracy Only Works When People Are In Charge" chronicles the rise of corporations in America and discusses how Citizens United has made them an even more powerful force in our democracy. The film ends by calling for, among other things, Fair Elections-style reform for our elections.
