Inside Job

CrimeDocumentary109 min

Inside Job traces the buildup to the 2008 financial collapse, following the chain from deregulation and speculative banking to the worldwide fallout of lost jobs, homes, and savings. The film moves from Iceland’s banking boom to Wall Street and Washington, laying out the links between finance, government, and academia. Economist Nouriel Roubini and former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker are among the insiders and public figures interviewed, alongside journalists, regulators, and executives. Rather than treating the crash as a sudden disaster, it maps how policy choices, conflicts of interest, and unchecked incentives set the stage for it.
