I didn’t find this by doing a search, so I assume no one has posted about it yet. (If so, feel free to fold this into another thread.)

HBO is currently running a documentary called “Meet the Donors: Does Money Talk?” It was made by Alexandra Pelosi (yep, Nancy’s daughter) where she interviews a number of big donors. Few of the really big ones, of course, because most wouldn’t consent to an interview. No Kochs here, sorry. There’s also a section where she interviews donors and activists specifically focused on controlling campaign finance.

And, there’s a companion page on HBO’s website:

Give it a watch if you get HBO and have the chance.
