Para los que les resultó interesante este documental, recomiendo "Inside Job" (2010) que se podría decir es el complemento de esta historia de estafa y codicia. Lo que había ocurrido con Enron, era solo la antesala a lo que más adelante será la crisis financiera en EEUU, todo un resumen que ciertamente crea un retrato de la avaricia y otras debilidades humanas.

I always endorse criticism towards main stream economic ideologies so this was easy to like for me. Realization of the film was lively and the rhythm was just right to keep viewer focused at the same time when you didn't had to push too hard just to keep up with the events. One could say that this is a "almost-identical twin" for Inside Job. These two complete each other.

better than any fictional polit thriller. in the main roles of the dark side: economic "liberals", banks and g.w.bush. Believe(!) in a deregulated real free market! right!?! (i recommend the trash movie "They Live!" as part 2 after seen this movie)
