This film is as gripping as any thriller. Aided by some fascinating interviews, Ferguson lays out an awful story.

A tragic story how greed among a few people ruined the lives of many globally. Fascinating to learn about drivers and legal aspects in this crisis and how little we have learned from it. @Edward Lindqvist whats your take?

...it’s enormously satisfying, even cathartic to watch Ferguson “nail” some of the rogues behind the economic crisis...

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Inside Job about? Toggle content

Inside Job is a documentary film that examines the global financial crisis of 2008, which resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs, and cost over $20 trillion. The film is directed by Charles Ferguson, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his previous documentary, No End in Sight. Inside Job features interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, and traces the rise of a rogue industry that has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. The film begins by examining the effects of Iceland's shift toward deregulation in 2000, which led to the privatization of its banks and ultimately contributed to the global recession. The film then explores the history of financial regulation in the United States, from 1941 to 1981, followed by a period of deregulation that led to the savings and loan crisis and the consolidation of the financial sector into a few giant firms. The film also examines the rise of derivatives, which added instability to the industry, and the efforts to regulate them, which were thwarted by the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000. The film concludes by tracing the rise of a rogue industry that has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia, and by identifying key players in the crisis, including investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and politicians such as former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan.
