Casino Jack

"Casino Jack" is about to be released, starring Kevin Spacek.
it's about Jack Abramoff.
It's suppose to have a scene in it about the Marianas Island clothing sweat shop deal. Where young local girls were locked into factory dormatories and worked double shifts, basically for very little pay, as slaves.
When efforts to add the girls into the native American (Alaskan) bargaining unit, the factory bosses called in Jack and Tom Delay who took Ralph along, to stop the labor arrangement.  I do not know if Ralph Hall is portrayed in the film but it will be interesting to see how they treat the subject and what happened.
