Meltdown: The Secret History of the Global Financial Collapse

Doc Zone, a doc­u­men­tary series pro­duced by CBC Tele­vi­sion, is now air­ing, Melt­down, a four part inves­ti­ga­tion into the great finan­cial deba­cle of 2008. Along the way, the CBC’s Ter­ence McKen­na takes view­ers “behind the head­lines and into the back­rooms at the high­est lev­els of world gov­ern­ments and bank­ing insti­tu­tions, reveal­ing the aston­ish­ing lev­el of back­stab­bing and ten­sion behind the scenes as the world came dan­ger­ous­ly close to anoth­er Great Depres­sion.”

Above, we have post­ed the first episode called “The Men Who Crashed the World.” The remain­ing pro­grams can be watched by click­ing here and scrolling down the page. Or by head­ing to Al Jazeer­a’s Eng­lish site, which also hosts the four-part series. Thanks to William for send­ing along this film. It’s now added to the Doc­u­men­tary sec­tion of our col­lec­tion of Free Movies Online.

LOL The real Van­dals are Max­i­pad Waters, Nazi Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Bawney Fwank (“how could I know the male pros­ti­tu­tion ring was being run out of MY apart­ment?”) Tax Cheat Charley Ran­gle, and many more Democraps, most noto­ri­ous­ly Jamie Gore­lick who did­n’t do enough dam­age on 9/11! All sat on the board on Fanny/Freddie and LIED under oath about their upcom­ing insol­ven­cy.
