IN DEBT WE TRUST (2006)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Definitely–in a very depressing, disturbing way.

Technically any good? It’s not the tightest docu in the world for sure–also, it seems to cover the same ground a couple of times and it also seems to suggest that the national debt has something to do with the personal debts of individual Americans–which it is NOT (check out I.O.U.S.A. for that, I hear). However, it gets a lot of other stuff right (I’ve done my research) and actually predicts everything we’ve experienced economically over the past 6 months. From subprime loans to individuals with too many credit cards, this 2 year-old documentary nails it.

How did it leave me feeling? A little depressed–the film tries to suggest how we can stop the coming problems, but obviously, we know that none of it worked. :\ Still, it’s a nice history lesson for next time. :(

Final Rating? GSN - GO SEE NOW - and learn about some of the things that caused this mess.
