“This film is as gripping as any thriller. Aided by some fascinating interviews, Ferguson lays out an awful story.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
The awful story referred to above is that of the factors which brought about the 2008 global financial collapse. After his Oscar-nominated film No End in Sight: The American Occupation of Iraq, director Charles Ferguson has been nominated again for Inside Job, a crime film in which the villains of the piece get away with the crime. Through exhaustive research, and with a host of interviewees including financial insiders, politicians, journalists, academics - and even the Wall Street Madam who provided the call girls – the film traces the rise of a rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia. And he then, chillingly, leaves us with the knowledge that the authors of this disaster remain, unchallenged and uncensured, in control today. This is no Michael Moore showboating documentary but it is just as committed to exposing injustice, and just as effective.
