CASINO JACK
AND THE UNITED STATES OF MONEY (2010)
Q&A w/ director Alex Gibney, plus three people convicted in the prosecution of lobbyist Jack Abramoff: former Ohio congressman Bob Ney, his chief of staff Neil Volz; and business associate Adam Kidan.

This is a screening you won't want to miss. Director Alex Gibney will be joined by three memorable characters from the film for this special screening of CASINO JACK.

The Sundance Film Festival wrote: "This portrait of Washington super lobbyist Jack Abramoff - from his early years as a gung-ho member of the GOP political machine to his final reckoning as a disgraced, imprisoned pariah - confirms the adage that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. A tale of international intrigue with Indian casinos, Russian spies, Chinese sweatshops, and a mob-style killing in Miami, this is the story of the way money corrupts our political process."

CASINO JACK continues Gibney's extraordinary directorial track record that includes Academy Award winner TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE and Academy nominee ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM. This month Gibney has a whopping three films playing at Tribeca: THE UNTITLED ELIOT SPITZER FILM; MY TRIP TO AL-QAEDA; and FREAKONOMICS.

See him live to find out whether he's a man or myth!
