Wis.Community recently held a screening of the film Dark Money in Downsville. This film will be shown Monday, Oct. 1 on PBS stations nationwide (the first showing will be at 9 PM Monday night). The film will also become available for streaming after the national premiere. 

This is a great documentary and clearly demonstrates the influence of dark money groups on campaigns. In Montana the state won a suit proving that these groups had illegally influenced campaigns in the state. The film shows the differences between Montana, which has managed to maintain at least some of its campaign finance laws, and the anything-goes situation in Wisconsin. Whatever your political persuasion, this is a film that deserves to be seen.
