Meltdown: The Secret History of Global Financial Collapse

Meltdown: The Secret History of Global Financial Collapse

Meltdown also tells the stories of desperate foreclosed homeowners in California, disillusioned autoworkers at the end of the line in Ontario and furious workers in France who shocked the world by kidnapping their own bosses.

Since the financial meltdown began, trillions of dollars have been spent rescuing banks and jumpstarting economies, yet recovery remains fragile. Fears abound of a “double-dip” return to recession.

The millions around the world who lost homes and jobs are demanding answers: How did it all go so wrong? Who is to blame? They are angry because to date, only a few smalltime players have been held to account.

No major banking, regulatory or government figures have yet been convicted of any wrongdoing.
Meltdown is the first comprehensive documentary portrait of the worst economic crisis of a generation.
