Summary:
'Inside Job' provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2008, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.

Inside Job is a documentary directed by Charles Ferguson that won the 2011 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.  Overall it does a good job explaining the who, what, when, where, and why of the recent financial crisis in simple terms.  Though I think they did not cover enough aspects of the crisis, and what footage included wasn't edited very well.  I would like to see the full texts or videos of the interviews they used.  


Yes it is an important and relevant subject that everyone should be aware of, no it is not the best documentary of the year.

I think this will be grim viewing due to the fact we're all in the movie still and living in the crap from this crisis.
