Join us on JULY 10 (we’re moving our monthly meeting back one week from the first Thursday to the second Thursday) as we screen HBO Documentary Film, The Dark Money Game: Ohio Confidential.
The Dark Money Game is directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney. The film investigates how an untraceable web of money from wealthy individuals and corporations flows through nonprofits and super PACs to support candidates and influence political movements.
When a powerful political lobbyist is found shot to death, his apparent suicide highlights a bizarre turn in Ohio’s largest public corruption case, unraveling a conspiracy involving a secret $61 million slush fund.
Bring a few friends and join us as we quickly cover club business at 6:15, update everyone on our next actions and events, and jump into the film at 6:30. Light snacks will be provided.
