The film looks at the stealth influence of religious groups and explores the fine line between a bribe and a political &#8220;gratuity&#8221; or donation, and the reciprocity between well-funded special-interest groups and the political process as well as attempts to influence the judiciary at the highest levels.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Participants: Jane Mayer, journalist and author of &#8220;<em>Dark Money<\/em>&#8220;; Russ Feingold, former U.S. Senator; Rev.
