Title: CITIZEN KOCH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Variance Films<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviewed for Shockya by Harvey Karten. Data-based on Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grade:\u00a0 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n

Director:\u00a0 Carl Deal, Tia Lessin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screenplay:\u00a0 Carl Deal, Tia Lessin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cast: Scott Walker, Dee Ives, Mari Jo Kabat, Brian Cunningham, Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, John McCain, Bud Roemer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Screened at:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Review 1, NYC, 5\/21\/14<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opens:\u00a0 June 6, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

A point made in this political doc by Carl Deal and Tia Lessin\u2014heretofore known for \u201cTrouble the Water\u201d about two residents who became refugees in their own country when the New Orleans levees broke\u2014is that there is one way that the person living in a box under a highway has same power as a billionaire: and that is in the vote.\u00a0 While this is technically true, the theory misses the power that the media, especially TV, and personal appearances during a campaign heavily influence the way we vote.\u00a0 It\u2019s easy for seemingly independent folks like us to say that they are not influenced by the barrage of commercials\u2014that it does not matter whether Barack Obama\u2019s face is thrust upon us more than Mitt Romney\u2019s\u2014that we vote according to our beliefs.\u00a0 But this ignores the effect that psychology (call it brainwashing if you must) influences our beliefs and therefore our actions; hence the fellow with the more active campaign has the big advantage.<\/p>\n

Campaigns cost a good deal of money.\u00a0 Candidates who out-finance their rivals are more than a few steps ahead of the game.\u00a0 Because of this, money contributions are a big factor, which is like saying that people and corporations with deep pockets and a strong motivation to win can put their favorites over the top.\u00a0 According to Deal and Lessin, who are obviously on the side of the left despite their attempts to partially balance the scales, corporations got the go-ahead to spend as much as they want on campaigns thanks to a Supreme Court decision in 2009 known as Citizens United, in which the replacement of one newly retired Supreme Court justice by another of a more conservative bent led to a 5-4 decision that opened the financial floodgates.\u00a0 Deal and Lessin, emphasizing the ideological bents of the justices, note that the decision overturned precedents that had limited contributions, and that precedents are not overturned unless situations have changed\u2014and nothing here has changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cCitizen Koch\u201d focuses on one race, in Wisconsin, involving Scott Walker, heavily financed by the billionaire Koch brothers, David and Charles, owners of the country\u2019s second richest privately held corporation.\u00a0\u00a0 When Governor Walker, joined by the Wisconsin State Legislature, stripped away collective bargaining rights of public unions\u2014working on a precedent begun by President Ronald Reagan when he fired striking California air controllers\u2014working class folks who had always been Republicans became alienated from their party.\u00a0 Voters collected a million signatures on petitions to set up an election to recall Walker mid-term, the Koch brothers financing media saturation urging the public to reject the recall and keep the governor in office.<\/p>\n

The documentary does not bring out exactly why voters by a 53-47 margin threw out the recall.\u00a0 Instead we see protests by people on both sides, the Tea Party and other conservatives shouting their support while those on the other side denounced the state\u2019s chief executive for his reactionary politics.\u00a0 Take Dee Ives, a nurse and Air Force veteran, Mari Jo Kabat, a public school librarian, and Brian Cunningham, a correctional officer: why would they be diehard Republicans in the first place?\u00a0 Only one brief mention was made of a motivation when Kabat confirms that she is pro-life and therefore a natural in that sense\u2014though not in the economic sense\u2014for following Republican politics.<\/p>\n

So the Koch brothers, through their organization Americans for Prosperity, are able to continue getting right-wing politicians elected who will cut taxes for millionaires while raising them for workers, allowing the government to look the other way when regulations on such aspects as pollution, and marginalizing independent candidates who, like Bud Roemer, had been unable even to take part in the Presidential debates. In fact the one intelligent voice in the doc is that of candidate Roemer.\u00a0 You would have heard quite a bit more from him if he were financed by the Koch brothers, but given his lack of money for his own campaign, he became a mere footnotes to presidential history.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be Michael Moore, Errol Morris, Werner Herzog or Morgan Spurlock to put across an intriguing non-fiction movie. While there is a shortage of humor in \u201cCitizen Koch,\u201d apparently even the brothers themselves ran scared at the thought that this critical work would be produced and screened.\u00a0 They even convinced Independent Television Service, to which they committed $150,000 to produce this documentary, to pull the funds.\u00a0 ITVS was apparently convinced to cancel plans for the premiere to avoid losing David Koch\u2019s funding of public television.<\/p>\n

If you fear the rightward turn of American politics and want to get more of a visceral look at how money shapes out country\u2019s decision-making, you can\u2019t go wrong by taking in \u201cCitizen Koch.\u201d<\/p>\n
