Here is the plot description for “Casino Jack and the United States of Money”:

This 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 – confirms the adage that “truth is indeed stranger than fiction”.

A tale of international intrigue with Indian casinos, Russian spies, Chinese sweatshops and a mob-style killing in Miami, this is the story of the way money corrupts our political process. Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney once again wields the tools of his trade with the skill of a master.

Following the ongoing indictments of federal officials and exposing favor trading in our nation’s capital, Gibney illuminates the way our politicians’ desperate need to get elected – and the millions of dollars it costs – may be undermining the basic principles of American democracy. Infuriating yet undeniably fun to watch, “Casino Jack and the United States of Money” is a saga of greed and corruption with a cynical villain audiences will love to hate.

The trailer for “Casino Jack and the United States of Money” can be watched now below.
