Politicians and the media like to talk about the relationship between Wall Street and Main Street, but investigative journalist Leslie Cockburn's debut feature gets to the guts of the matter, visiting defectors from Bear Stearns and Standard and Poor's and other high-level players in the subprime mortgage gamble and, on the flipside, visiting the working-class Americans who were the unwitting chips on the table. Screening at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival. For more information and tickets, visit www.tribecafilm.com/festival.

2. I saw this.....it is very very good.

altho I have followed the issue closely since 2005, there were facts and details in the film I was not aware of.
This is NOT a jargon filled economic discussion. It is a a lucid, understandable well laid story of who did what to create the mess we are in,
AND
that story also shows why the mess will remain un addressed.

The amounts of money made by your "average" mortgage broker is mind blowing, as is the sheer number of foreclosed homes.

Strongly recommend this to everyone.
