The documentary focuses on money, and how it's made, and the economic and social repurcussions of the process and how banks are exploiting this process for profit.

In fact, it seems the writers and even the people interviewed during this documentary have really no idea of how finance and the economy works... at all. Clearly the directors showed only one side of the story, so it is not without bias that they are getting their point across and luring viewers with the idea that it is all an evil and corrupt system. I'm not questioning whether or not the system is corrupt, or outdated in policies and processes, but the fact of the matter is that the information given in this documentary is incorrect about the money system.

Viewers, be advised to do your own research before considering this the de facto exposé of the money system.

Wasn't an easy watch, I couldn't think clearly, so I will likely have to revisit. Sheds light on how debt and money creation works, and feeds on the fact that money is now mostly paperless. It is put together in a way that leads the mind to think of conspiracies, yet that's natural since whatever we consider could be considered by ones with access as well. As with most documentaries there has to be an allure, a selling point, and this is no different albeit lays down many facts the average person wouldn't normally think about. Maybe I will check out the book that it's largely based on which is listed near the end.

Explains the introduction and impact of Britain and The USA adopting Fractional Reserve Banking System.

Simple facts described in a plain and simple manner : the building stone of economy is how money is created. And, most importantly, debt is explained : that there is no economy w/out debt. Debt is core. It's all about the control of debt, and who "owns" debts.

As is, debt is as important a concept, as creation of money is. And this is not at all about some 3% of coin & paper money in the system, it's essentially about some 97++% of 'virtual' money being send back and fro. And about a specific type of money that only exsists and can be used with, for instance, the Bank of England -- and nowhere else.

A complicated system which evolved from simple facts when law decided to forbid private banks to issue their own paper & coin money in the 19th century.

But then somehow, and it's not a mystery, private banks still keep on issuing money (tho not their own paper & coin notes)

and that is, in essence, what this doumentary is about : the how, when and why.

A must watch, to be honest and a 10-star docu if only the female narrator's voice would not have been mixed in in such a shallow manner (often too hard too grasp; a pity) : it deserves a clear firm straight sound given that the documentary itself is profoundly clear.

We need the ALL the profits from the banking system to reduce our housing costs, re-fund the NHS and provide free education and good pensions.

And while we are at it we could use some of the £trillions per year to stimulate and re-establish, using grants like in the 1980's, the SME sector.

To do this is not socialism. It is not any "ism".

This documentary shows how £trillions per are stolen from us.

An important question is where the £trillions go? Where does all that staggeringly vast sum go every year.

What is the stolen cash doing, while our society suffers hardship, disease, low pensions and tuition fees?
