Got much more from this documentary than we expected! It did a very good job of critiquing the Economic Crisis of 2008 and assigning responsibility. And the film also did an excellent job of addressing the historical cultural developments and their contributions. We had not seen that "full picture" before. This film provides insight into the current national conditions that still exist. Highly recommend. It's better than some of the other so- called factual documentaries out there on what led to 2008 meltdown.

Based on an external historic evidence content,the film is a plain,straightforward perspective of not too often analyzed as a sequence but,nevertheless important view of historical,social,financial and political events in our time.It is a powerful expose of evolving moral and social values of western society. Set in somewhat limited, but broad sociopolitical context,it serves not only as a message of warning,but as a generational appeal as well.Presented without a commentary by any opposing,converging ,or even a similar point of views, the film easily invites a flood of critical attacks. There is also perhaps some to be desired on its composition,editing choices,sound to images.etc.

I can tell by the above reviewers that this film made them angry. The fact that this film succeeded in making people angry, alone, lends it credence on at least SOME level. The claims made that this documentary is propaganda are common to pretty much all documentaries. All documentaries are propaganda even as they are almost never presented as such. This piece of filmmaking takes an approach that is both effective and entertaining while pushing its narrative down a track that is most interesting, indeed. I highly suggest you give it a look.After all, if folks are outraged by it, you can be sure that it has merit. Or, you could be as closed minded as some and use words of the false LEFT/RIGHT paradigm such as "right-wing" or "neocon" or "socialist" or "left-wing".The other option is for you to give the film a look and take from it what you believe to be truthful. That's what I did and I was very entertained. I even learned a little bit.

I usually enjoy documentaries. I want to know what caused the financial crisis of 2008. Books like "When Genius Failed," "The Big Short," and "Liar's Poker," really shed light on Wall St's ugly side and the tricks they used to engineer the collapse of 2008. Unfortunately this garbage of a documentary largely fails at explaining anything but instead injects completely biased opinions ranging from Godlessness, to Saul Alinsky as reasons for our economic despair. REALLY?!! This film covers the usual right wing Kool Aid topics like, Hippies, Godlessness, 50's mothers (women), Community Reinvestment Act, ACORN, too much regulation, you've heard all this garbage before on Youtube commentaries but this movie lumps it them in one long propaganda film. The non stop music starts to grate on your nerves and is a shameless attempt to manipulate your emotions. Unfortunately morons will use this film as an echo chamber to their already warped sense of what is happening in this world.
