Our friends at Participant Media have offered some select passes for Open Salon members interested in seeing an advance screening of "Casino Jack," the upcoming documentary from Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney ("Taxi To The Dark Side," "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"). The Jack in question is one Jack Abramoff, and the film is billed as "a twisting tale in which a small group of charming con men use the power of the purse, the zealotry of religion and bare-knuckled political brawling to loot the American government for fun, ideals and profit."

We're looking forward to this at Salon -- we're already getting an interview with Gibney ready -- so this is your chance to be way ahead of the curve. The details:

When: Friday, April 23rd, Noon PST / 3 p.m. EST

Where: Livestream.com

How:  If you're interested in getting a password to watch the film, email Judy Berman at jberman@salon.com. Unfortunately, there is limited space, so we might not be able to let everyone in. We will email you instructions on how to log on to Livestream  within an hour before the screening begins.

Gibney will be holding a 30 minute interactive Q&A immediately after the screening, that you can participate in. We hope that if you watch the movie, and have something to say about it, you'll blog about it! Here's a trailer for the film:
