This non-partisan film includes a look at two national policies: agriculture and energy, both of which are shaped by a variety of special interests including industry groups, political parties, lobbyists, citizen groups, candidates and officeholders.

The film features Arizona's pioneering clean-elections system as a possible alternative to the prevailing model — an optional reform attracting support from members of Congress in both parties. Commentators include elementary-school students, citizens, members of Congress, lobbyists, reform advocates, noted political observers and humorists. Amongst those interviewed are Alan Simpson, Mario Cuomo, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Bill Bradley, Lawrence Lessig, Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD), Charlie Stenholm, Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MN), Rep. Don Young (R-AK), Thom Hartmann, Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME) and Bob Edgar.
