Synopsis

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. —Cannes Film Festival, 2010

The content outweighs all the downsides. Soundtrack is pretty cool as well.

Maybe a bit on the technical side, but an excellent look into what ruined the US. If this film doesn't piss you off, you aren't paying attention.

La clave de este documental no es cómo un grupo de "especialistas" financieros fueron incapaces de frenar el colapso de la economía mundial, sino sobre cómo estos fueron víctimas del cinismo, incluso hasta niveles de la perversión. "Inside Job" es el retrato de las debilidades humanas, aquellas que se agravan a medida que el dinero y el poder se incrementa. Este documental da lección de esto.

Maybe too technical for someone who is far of financial world but a good document about the present economical situation and (why not?) about human nature. I also really like Matt Damon narrator's voice (since "Rounders").
