Dark Money is a 2018 American documentary film directed by Kimberly Reed about the effects of corporate money and influence in the American political system. The film uses Reed's home state of Montana as a primary case study to advance a broader, national discussion on governance in an era of super PACs and Citizens United. Dark Money premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival[1] and premiered to a Montana audience at the Big Sky Film Festival in February 2018.[2] The broadcast rights to Dark Money were purchased by PBS distribution to air the film as part of their docu-series POV in 2018.[3]
