The film provides a comprehensive analysis of the global financial crisis of 2009, which at a cost over $20 trillion, caused millions of people to lose their jobs and homes in the worst recession since the Great Depression, and nearly resulted in a global financial collapse. Through exhaustive research and extensive interviews with key financial insiders, politicians, journalists, and academics, the film traces the rise of rogue industry which has corrupted politics, regulation, and academia.  It was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China.
