I just about didn’t go to this movie. Having seen it, I believe it will go on the record as a critical contribution to the shaping of what comes next.

Through exhaustive research and extensive 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. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.
Released in Oct 2010.
