DESCRIPTION:The Reality of the Koch Brothers\nIn late March Brave New Films, the 
 ongoing project of filmmaker Robert Greenwald, premiered its latest 
 feature-length documentary, "Koch Brothers Exposed". New York was chosen 
 for the event most likely for its gravitas, and perhaps also for its 
 distance of just a few miles from one of the Kochs' many homes.\n\nThe 
 perspective could not have been lost on an audience who came to find out 
 more about this pair that essentially got its start by inheriting $300 
 million from their father in 1967, parlaying it into billions from 
 industries such as energy, petrochemicals, textiles and pulp and paper. 
 They have in turn used that wealth to fund a number of conservative causes 
 which include the election of "tea-party" and other Republican Party 
 candidates willing to do the bidding, once in office, of wealthy elites 
 such as (but surely not limited to) Charles and David Koch.\n\nRather than 
 keep "Koch Brothers Exposed" in theaters, Greenwald and BNF immediately 
 made it available on DVD; since then thousands of concerned folks have seen 
 hundreds of screenings all across the country. The latest of these 
 screenings will take place courtesy of Peace Action of San Mateo County on 
 Monday, June 18. The venue is wheelchair accessible. "Koch Brothers 
 Exposed" features expert interviews, investigative exposes, and extras 
 about what the Kochs are doing to our democracy. According to the film's 
 web site: "The billionaire brothers bankroll a vast network of 
 organizations that work to undermine the interests of the 99% on issues 
 ranging from Social Security to the environment to civil rights. This film 
 uncovers the Kochs' corruption - and points the way to how Americans can 
 reclaim their democracy." To that end a discussion will follow the 
 film.\n\nCharles Koch is quoted saying, "I just want my fair share, and 
 that's all of it." By watching this film we may reaffirm that some of that 
 belongs to us. On June 18, come find out how we can begin to take it 
 back.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/06/10/18715115.php
