Inside Job (2011)

Inside Job is a new documentary from former entrepreneur turned filmmaker Charles Ferguson and might well be the most important documentary you'll see this year. Ferguson asks Matt Damon to explain in ruthless detail of how the financial collapse occurred in 2008 by a group of elite bankers and how they still left with millions of dollars worth of bonuses.

Inside job is not always a easy documentary to follow but investigates the mystery of the banking world and gives us as much detail as possible on how it all went wrong. It starts off by showing us the bankruptcy of Iceland (once said to be the most stable financial country in the world) and how similar things were going to happen in New York which would affect the entire world. The recession we find ourselves in today is all down to illegal activity by banks and insurance companies which include Morgan Stanley and AIG (Manchester United Sponsor). They were basically giving out loans that they knew were never going to get re-paid by customers and then betting on that fact. So the average customer would lose their homes and life savings, but the CEO's of these companies would walk away with millions.

Inside job can be a very shocking film explaining that making money gives off the same chemical in the brain as cocaine. Ferguson repeatedly points out that none of these people had to give the money back. Instead spending it on Cocaine, prostitutes and private jets (one CEO owning 7 jets.....7!!) Inside Job is one of the most important and genuinely terrifying documentaries you'll see this year. But it also reminds people (if they needed reminding) that money talks. If you were not in that 1% in terms of wealth then you were going to get turned over. Simple as that.
