1) Dark money
Description
It "examines one of the greatest present threats to American democracy: the influence of untraceable corporate money on our elections and elected officials. The film takes viewers to Montana-- a frontline in the fight to preserve fair elections nationwide-- to follow a local journalist working to expose the real-life impacts of the US Supreme Court's Citizens United decision"--Container.
2) Five star
Description
A member of the notorious Bloods since he was twelve years old, Primo takes John, the son of a fallen gang member, under his wing, versing him in the code of the streets. Set amongst the streets of East New York, it blends documentary and fiction as the director carefully eschews worn cliches of gang culture to offer a compelling portrait of two men forced to confront the question of what it really means to be a man.
