Inside Job

From Academy Award nominated filmmaker Charles Ferguson, Inside Job is a riveting documentary on the global financial crisis that began in 2008 and continues to be felt today. The first film to expose the horrifying truth behind the economic upset which cost the planet over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse, exhaustive research and interviews with key insiders traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. A comprehensive and extremely timely portrayal of an event that affected us all, Inside Job is compelling viewing that will leave you both shocked and fascinated.
