Didn't see this when it first came out, but have now. Can see why it won the Academy Award. If you haven't seen this doco, I'd highly recommend it if you want to understand how banks and in particular finance are the root cause of most of our problems. You may struggle to believe what you see in this film, it's staggering (and also hugely entertaining, not dry). Just one of a thousand amazing facts in it - in less than 10 years, the 5 top executives at Lehman Brothers took home a billion dollars between them in pay and bonuses.
