Moneyocracy is a transmedia documentary about the 2010 Citizens United v. FEC Supreme U.S Court ruling  and the rise of Super PACS during the 2012 U.S Presidential election. The documentary looks at how the decision championed by Supreme Court Justice, John G Roberts, is affecting the U.S democratic process, the place of money in politics and the role of corporations and private donors to Super PACs and 501c4.

Moneyocracy aims to offer a nonpartisan view on the current state of the U.S democracy. This production is totally independent an relies on a careful journalistic work.

In April 2011, Barack Obama commenced his 2012 presidential campaign with these words: "We're doing this now, because the politics we believe in does not start with expensive TV Ads or extravaganzas…"
This statement was a profound one, as it forecasted the state by which the already costly and elaborate U.S. elections would be run. With these words, the U.S. president directly referred to the Supreme Court's decision made on January 21, 2010 in the case, Citizen United vs. Federal Election Commission. In this landmark case, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that all restrictions placed on how much financial support private entities would be allowed to contribute to their preferred candidate's campaign (mainly via political advertisements), would violate the First Amendment and is therefore, unconstitutional.

This controversial Supreme Court decision laid the framework for a new era in the privatization of the American electoral system. Thus far, Congress has failed to draft an amendment to address this decision, which will undoubtedly result in an increase of all corporate-derived lobbying and influence in American politics. It was former Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower who warned America against the influence of private and corporate interests over the democratic process. Today, the risks of passive corruption have never been greater in Washington and democracy feebly lingers in the shadow of Wall Street.

What are the legal & political implications of this decision? Is this the beginning of a new era when corporations will shape the political arena as their businesses? What are the consequences for Americans and the rest of the world? If the world's first democratic power falls into the hands of private interest groups, what will the implications be for China, Europe, South America or Africa ?
The story takes its roots in the 2010 Citizens United v. FEC. Supreme Court ruling and analyses its consequences on U.S elections and on the American population.
What are the legal & political implications of this decision? Is this the beginning of a new era in which corporations will shape the political arena as they shape their businesses ? The project focuses on the rise of Super PACs and their affiliated organisations the 501c4, and documents how these organisations influence the political debate and American voters during the 2012 presidential campaign and beyond through political advertising.

Moneyocracy relies on an interactive documentary (i-doc), a documentary and a comic book, each of which explore a specific issue, allowing the viewers to discover the real influence of corporate money in contemporary elections. The journey takes the audience from Washington D.C to Chicago at the Obama campaign headquarters, to Tampa, FL to Charlotte, NC, during the GOP and Democratic National Conventions.
Along the way, the authors interview some of the main actors of the campaign, including lobbyists, unionists, activists and lawyers, all of whom reveal the true consequences of the Supreme Court's historic 2010 decision.

Set during the 2012 race to the White House, the documentary explores the impact of Super PACs and their political advertising practices on the democratic process.
This year, during the Republican primaries in Iowa, there were 12 political ads per hour on TV. In South Carolina, a viewer was exposed to 182 political ads a week. A record since the beginning of TV advertising. Usually, the price for a 30-second TV slot ranges between $300 and $1000, sometimes more. But in February 2012, $39 millions had already been spent on political TV ads. These ads are mainly paid for by non-party groups independent from the candidates' campaigns. They are known as Super PACs, and 501c4s.

Super-PAC money spent on TV ads is called "Independent Expenditures". Since the 2006 mid-term elections, these have gone up by 338% – meaning an astounding amount of money has already been spent on TV ads. Given that only 0.26% of Americans donate to political campaigns, where does the money spent by the Super PACS to influence American voters come from ? 80% of the money received by these groups is provided by a tiny portion of the American people – 0.0000063% to be precise. Who are these 0.0000063% ?

Why do they want to influence American voters? Are they connected to the candidates, and if they are, what is at stake here? Moneyocracy is an immersive and educative experience crafted to raise awareness about the dangers of the citizens united vs. F.E.C ruling on U.S democracy and to change how democracy is perceived.

In this i-doc, the "spectactors" play a fictional 501c4 board member. They get to decide how to market a fictional presidential candidate called Bill O'Maney and how to finance his campaign.
This interactive experience allows the end-user to make a number of strategic campaign decisions for the candidate, Bill O'Maney. The outcome of the campaign depends entirely on where the campaign's money comes from (corporate money and super PAC, grassroot campaign donations, public option funding) and decisions made by the user.

This raises an essential question: Is it possible to win without big financial backers? The mission of the i-doc is to educate, inform and create an experience. This means educating people on the influence of non-party groups over the elections. Informing them on the financial processes at work during an election. And creating an (interactive) experience to make them think about the rising influence of these groups in the election results.
