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?

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.

I consider myself to be a relative Intelligent person, but had a truly hard time understanding all of the ins and out of this documentary. While the topic is definitely important and interesting, the makers fail at creating a documentary that average people can understand.

Part of this has to do with the lack of a clear story line. You feel that all of the contributing interviewees have important information, but the total of chunks of information do not lead to a whole that is clear understandable and mor than the sum of its parts.

What also does not help are:

+ The very monotone comment that is unable to draw you into the subject matter.

+ The at times poorly communicating infographics.

+ The seemingly random scenes from black and white moves that bear no clear relation to the topic

The topic is relevant and interesting, but will never reach a really large audience simply because no one seems to have ever really thought about the best way to inform a large audience in a way that they can understand. This one is basically and foremost only for those with a university degree in economics, and therefore by definition for the elite that has no interest in changing things for the better of all of us. A missed opportunity and such a shame.

Looking forward to a more accessible documentary on the topic.

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

"The issue of monetary reform has historically been a very sensitive issue, because of the incredible power, wealth and privileges it bestows. In an age where analytical thought and a scientific approach are held in such high esteem, there is no justifiable argument for keeping the mechanisms and implications of the monetary process such a taboo subject.

As democratic citizens we have the right to demand a monetary system which is both stable and beneficial to society..."

Learn how the global financial institutions are just like terrorists, holding the public hostage with threats of economic collapse - how they're bailed out at the expense of the infrastructures we need to live as we're told that they are simply too big to fail.

This film describes how the banks can fail, and we can all have the financial security we need to confidently take out loans, buy houses and live freer, happier lives, neither as slaves to the banks or restrained by the fear of losing everything.
