A classic investigation of how presidential campaigns are funded -- how the system works. This documentary, which won a DuPont/Columbia University Award, reveals who the biggest donors were to the George Bush and Bill Clinton campaigns in 1992 and what they expected in return for their contributions. Includes some breathtaking interviews and discoveries. A serious documentary that also manages to be funny and entertaining. PBS veteran producer and writer Stephen Talbot takes us on a surprising journey. Correspondent, Robert Krulwich brings a wry touch to the reporting. The opening scene in Middleburg, Virginia provides an unexpected introduction to the subject of campaign finance and the film ends with flair with an expose of a Florida retreat where big-time donors and news media stars co-mingle.
