About this movie

Award-winning director David Sington presents the story of the 2008 financial credit crisis that brought suffering to millions. Forsaking easy explanations of greedy bankers and incompetent regulators, this investigation goes to the root causes of the USA’s and UK’s deluded belief that everyone could be rich and property prices would rise forever. The question arises: why are the perpetrators of the mess now entrusted with the lucrative task of clearing it up?
