The Princeton Public Library will host a screening and discussion of filmmaker Steve Cowan’s award-winning documentary “PRICELE$$” on Oct. 30.
“PRICELE$$” illuminates how deep-pocket special interest groups leverage campaign money to influence our electoral process and various national policies, especially those related to food and energy. To accomplish this, filmmakers travel across America, interviewing seasoned lawmakers, lobbyists, a class of civic students and citizen watchdogs. They also visit farmers and a group of Iraq War veterans, who share their strong opinions about how they have been affected by such policies.
Following the screening there will be a discussion on campaign finance reform. Opinions expressed at the Princeton Public Library do not necessarily reflect the views of the library, its staff, trustees or supporters.
The event is co-sponsored by the library, the New Jersey District 12 Committee of Represent.Us and the Coalition for Peace Action and Peace Action Education Fund of the Princeton Area. All Princeton Public Library programs are free and open to the public.
Parking is available on the neighboring streets and in the Spring Street Garage. The event begins at 7 p.m. and will be held in the library’s Community Room.
The physically challenged should contact the library, 48 hours in advance, with questions about special accommodations. For more information call 924-9529 or email princetonlibrary.org.
