This may seem like a bold claim, but this documentary blows away other content on the United States' 2007-'08 financial crisis. Not only are perspectives from academics of the Austrian school incorporated (a true rarity these days), this film simultaneously provides the ultimate service to viewers and the biggest middle-finger to the establishment by focusing on the original cause of all financial crises: intervention in the market.

The historians and academics in the film do an excellent job of walking the viewer through the seemingly complex economic history of the US by chronologically laying out what was said and done by people in power, especially since the creation of the Federal Reserve, who predicted it and how it can be prevented fro ever happening again.

The best part is that a proclivity for this topic is not needed and you don't need to live in the US to learn something valuable. The content of this film is applicable to anyone living in a country with a central bank. Everything is put into laymen terms and is easy to understand. The top-notch production and editing that utilized recognizable clips from popular media kept the fact-filled film entertaining and lighthearted. I plan on watching this again with my family.
