Winner of the 2011 Academy Award for best documentary, “Inside Job” was produced by Charles Ferguson (“No End in Sight”) and is a comprehensive analysis of the events leading up to the global financial crisis, which ended up costing the U.S. $20 trillion and resulted in millions of people losing their homes and their jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politician and journalists, “Inside Job” traces the rise of a rogue financial industry which impacted politics, regulation and academia. The documentary was filmed on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore and China.
