What educators are saying

First of all, Big Sky Big Money is the only campaign finance documentary I've found that doesn't bore my high schoolers to sleep. Secondly, I appreciated this guide (despite it having a few typos) as it saved me time as a teacher with two new preps. Thanks.

Description

This Frontline video explores the use of excessive money in Political campaigns today. It is really current and delves into Super Pacs and 501 4c groups. They interview Democrats and Republicans involved in these activities. It hits home the fact that the general public doesn't know the difference between candidate ads and issue ads. Nor does the public realize that outside groups are spending more on campaigning than local candidates and political parties! It questions the decision from the Supreme Court case Citizens United. It provokes the student to ponder if Free Speech should be money that can not be traced.
