Directed by Charles Ferguson and narrated by Matt Damon, Inside Job is a documentary film that takes a closer look at what – and who – brought about the financial crisis. And how it could have been avoided.

Inside Job seeks to provide what many people are still searching for: a real and comprehensive look at all the causes surrounding the global financial crisis.

From politicians to academics, this film begins to paint a picture of corruption, gambling and plain greed.

No doubt, many of the main players were hoping that everything would be swept under the carpet along with a mass of stock market gibberish.

Tough luck.
