It's an amazing nonpartisan look at what happened during the economic crisis in 2008 from an insider's point of view. It shows the fall of Lehman as well as how close the U.S. was to a complete and utter economic collapse. It also showed how the government was shuffling to broker deals in the private sector to help get rid of the toxic assets the subprime fiasco left a lot of banks holding...especially Lehman.
I loved it because they didn't blame anyone (other than the greedy fucking investment bankers). They would show real life news clips of what happened based on stuff they were doing behind the scenes. It's hard to believe that we were within mere hours of the next Great Depression, or worse. Anyone that follows politics can remember the rush to pass the TARP and forcing banks to accept the capital injections.

Definitely worth the watch. Educate yourself.
