“Who will see this film? Our chairman of the finance in government, or anyone in charge of our financial future?”
“The more things change the more they stay the same.”
“A really important and engaging film.”
“Excellent portrayal of greed and human nature. Please don’t make a film about Russia! You will be poisoned. The old-time French farmers were right - keep your gold under your mattress. What can anyone do to correct it?”
“Wow! An eye opening documentary! As it unfolds it explains a clear and easy to understand way how these frauds worked. Should be seen immediately! Like how you unfolded the story. I guess the message is become a short seller like Dan. If you know what you are doing make money and screw them. I will recommend this too all. I watched the BIG SHORT and went to the theater to see JUNK but this does explain it all. This administration will do nothing because they are amoral greedy cheats with no consciences. Those close-ups were great, really explained the person’s emotions. Scary to think what will happen worldwide if China’s bubble collapses. I saw Mark Cuban’s name in the credits. How did he get involved?”
“Great questions, no answers.”
“Jed Rothstein was an amazing guest, honest and informative, thank you, but… I disagree with him that Wall Street brokers who, as part of their everyday jobs, cause millions to lose millions are not amoral, they are immoral. Have a social conscience for God’s sake. And those who knowingly swindle faceless people via their retirement funds should be in jail.”
“Great cinematography pulls it together with dynamic energy.”
“Terrific film that managed to take a complex financial situation and bring it to comprehensible light in a clear dynamic way. Thank you! Great theme for a documentary.”
“An important film. A wake up call! We need to educate our young people about finance. Let’s talk more about the real dramas of life. This is about capitalism, the rule of laws and the crime of unpunished theft!”
“Absolutely fascinating. Why can’t anyone see what Dan sees? Please make a follow up film.”
“A great documentary. Why? This takes a complex subject, gets you involved, holds your attention, and makes its point. And it can hit you where we can feel it the most – in our wallets.”
“Funny how capitalism corrupts absolutely. It took a whole nation of billions of people who were communists and turned them into greedy money loving hucksters.”
