STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Bud Werner Memorial Library presents a free community screening of “Dark Money,” the Sundance award-winning documentary by Kimberly Reed and Katy Chevigny, at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 1, in Library Hall.

This film is a political thriller that examines one of the greatest present threats to American democracy: the influence of untraceable corporate money on our elections and elected officials. The film takes viewers to Montana, a front line in the fight to preserve fair elections nationwide, to follow an intrepid local journalist working to expose the real-life impacts of the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision.

Through this gripping story, the film uncovers the shocking and vital truth of how American elections are bought and sold. The filmmakers have provided some special swag for giveaways, and a public discussion will follow the screening. Visit SteamboatLibrary.org/events for more information.
