4 OCTOBER - The Big Buy (2005)

The hot new film starring Houston's own Tom DeLay and a cast of Texans who stood up to DeLay's assault against democracy. It's the story of one of the most blatant power grabs in American history, and how a District Attorney in Texas turned out to be the biggest threat to the national DeLay Machine. The film is a warning about how easy it is for American democracy to be hijacked by a combination of relentless ambition and corporate millions. It makes the case that DeLay built a "custom-made Congress" that is still providing votes for his agenda. The Big Buy is a feature length documentary that connects the dots between big money and big government. It's not a pretty picture.

Directors: Mark Birnbaum and Jim Schermbeck; distributed by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films
Run time: 75 minutes
