Lincoln is Crying: The Grifters, Grafters, and Governors of Illinois

LINCOLN IS CRYING: The Grifters, Grafters and Governors of Illinois is a blistering indictment of politics in the Land of Lincoln, and it's funny too. The documentary from filmmakers John Davies and Brian Kallies offers a funny yet sobering portrait of the pervasive, deeply rooted culture of political corruption in Illinois. Why focus on Illinois? It's presented as the most corrupt state in America and home to Chicago, the most corrupt city in America. LINCOLN IS CRYING functions as a cautionary tale for all other states, and given the current climate in national politics, its timing could not be more timely.
