CASINO JACK AND THE UNITED STATES OF MONEY (2010 -- 118 Minutes)

Sunday, February 13 - 1:00p.m./The Chapel

This documentary is a portrait of Washington super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, from his early years as a gung-ho member of the GOP political machine to his final reckoning as a disgraced, imprisoned pariah. It is a story of international intrigue involving casinos, spies, sweatshops and mob-style killings and a look into the way money corrupts our political process.
