Award Winning and Academy Award Nominee Charles Ferguson March 2, 2011

Could the global economic meltdown of the last few years have been prevented? Academy Award nominated filmmaker, Charles Ferguson, believes that the crisis was no accident. His latest documentary Inside Job makes the powerful case that an out-of-control fi nance industry took advantage of a deregulated atmosphere and purposely sought to get rich at the expense of others. His gripping account of the global recession is sure to evoke feelings of disgust, anger, and concern that this all may happen again unless our regulatory system is changed. Ferguson’s previous fi lm, No End in Sight was nominated for an Oscar. Inside Job is all ready being touted as an early favorite to win this year’s award for Best Documentary (Feature).
