A roll call of powerful financiers, politicians, and academics reveals the sadly all-too-human causes of the 2008 global financial meltdown in this “angry, well-argued documentary about how the American financial industry set out deliberately to defraud the ordinary American investor” (Roger Ebert). Moving from Iceland to China, Europe to the US, director Ferguson interviews key players to chart the rise and inevitable collapse of the deregulated mortgage industry—and the cozy relationships among bankers, legislators, and professors. Winner of the 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary, Inside Job is “a powerhouse that will leave you both thunderstruck and boiling with rage” (Los Angeles Times).
