A new documentary about Michael Madigan is playing now in select theaters.
Coming soon to a theater near you: A working-class politician amasses unprecedented political power through patronage and control of the legislative process, as his state careens toward fiscal disaster. That's the premise of a new documentary called “Madigan: Power, Privilege, Politics.” We watched the film and spoke with one of its creators.
