Inside Job

Inside Job is the first film to provide a comprehensive analysis of the 2008 global financial crisis, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions to lose jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in global financial collapse. Through research and interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. Locations include US, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.
An added extra looks at the role of academics, many of whom put their name to a system that eventually collapsed.
This film is as gripping as any thriller.

-Fan the Fire
Frightening, hilarious and ultimately rousing experience.
