The Documentary INSIDE JOB Is Released Today

From the movie’s web site:

From Academy Award® nominated filmmaker, Charles Ferguson, comes INSIDE JOB, the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, INSIDE JOB traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia.

Narrated by Academy Award® winner Matt Damon, INSIDE JOB was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.

The web site at Sony Films is horrible but their Facebook page is pretty decent.  I would highly recommend this movie.  It is probably the first movie that really takes an investigative documentary-style look at just how corrupt our banking system is, how that has completely corrupted our government, how incompetent the Federal Reserve and the economics community is and how these psychopathic criminals within our banking system defrauded society while awarding themselves criminal wages paid by average Americans to do it.  As we have said, these are surely some of the greatest crimes against humanity ever committed.  Ever.  And surely the greatest organized crime ever committed in American history.  The banksters make the Mafia and Mexican drug cartels look like Mother Teresa.  You will be mad as hell after watching it.  And that is exactly the appropriate response as long as it is channeled into constructive reform..
  
It’s time for a public banking system, greater transparency into Washington corruption and permanent democratic changes to our Constitution to never again allow fascism, or the purchase of our government by private criminal interests, to rise in this country.  And let's be frank.  They are criminals of the worst order.   And it's time to permanently get the political idiots out of our economy and their never-ending whoring out of public resources and economic rules of engagement to evildoers and special interests.  That includes our military-industrial complex and private corporations as well as a heinously corrupt Wall Street. 

Let's add an update here.  The films director also has an audio interview at NPR and the link is here.
