From NetFlix:

From filmmaker Charles Ferguson comes this sobering, Oscar-winning documentary that presents in comprehensive yet cogent detail the pervasive and deep-rooted corruption that led to the global economic meltdown of 2008. Through unflinching interviews with key financial insiders, politicos, journalists and academics, Ferguson paints a galling portrait of an unfettered financial system run amok — without accountability. Actor Matt Damon narrates.

For a long while I resisted watching this infuriating film. But then my dental hygienist, Kathleen, said it is better to know even if there is nothing that can be done and even if I have to admit that our bankers, financial system, economists and government are very corrupt. But I was particularly disappointed in the current President Obama who has done NOTHING to improve the situation.

Is this film the legacy of all those crooks ? Will this film even be remembered ? Who will take the trouble to watch a film about complicated financial instruments that probably no one understands (including the corrupt economists) ?

Only at one point was it fun watching a slimy Harvard economist lose his cool.

You will NOT be happy after having watched this documentary!
