Investigative reporter Greg Palast spends this hour-long report tracing four threads through the Bush family's political record. He starts in Florida, digging into the felon purge lists and ballot irregularities that decided the 2000 election, then moves to the family's financial ties to Saudi Arabia. From there he examines claims that the FBI's investigation into the bin Laden family was curtailed after the September 11 attacks, and closes with State Department planning for postwar Iraq. Palast works the way he does in print: pulling documents, chasing sources, and laying out a chain of connections rather than a single smoking gun. The material overlaps with segments later used in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and with reporting Palast first broadcast on BBC Newsnight and published in his book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. There's no narrator standing outside the story; Palast is the on-screen guide throughout, and the film's case rests entirely on what his reporting turned up.
