Inside Job (2010)

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature Inside Job tells the story of the late 2000's fiscal crises that in 2008 resulted in The Great Recession. Narrated by Matt Damon the film is well made and very informative, yet do to its inherently dry subject matter wears a bit and I wish it had been about 20 minutes shorter. Still this movie should be mandatory viewing for congress immediately before taking a vote to roll back what few, admittedly anemic and wanting fiscal reforms the Obama administration managed to get through. With the incoming administration we seem to be on track to replicate the circumstances that brought economic disaster upon us not even a decade ago. Sadly we don't seem to learn. ***
