Inside Job

From the director of the Oscar-nominated documentary No End in Sight comes this comprehensive portrayal of the 2008 economic crisis, which at a cost exceeding $20 trillion nearly resulted in global financial collapse and has caused millions to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression. Filmed on locations in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore and China, including interviews with major insiders, politicians and journalists, Inside Job exposes the shocking truth about the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships that have corrupted politics, regulation and academia.  Narrated by Matt Damon, this essential documentary examines financial activities as convoluted as they are reckless, translates them into plain language, and relies on reasoned analysis to hang its subjects with their own rope. Rated PG-13. Writer/Producer/Director: Charles Ferguson. (US 2010) 108 min.
