Danny Schechter's New Documentary PLUNDER (teaser trailer)

Nicknamed "The News Dissector," independent filmmaker Danny Schechter has released a new documentary, called 'Plunder', based on his book, "Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity and the Subprime Scandal". The film looks at the recent economic calamity from an objective point of view, and touches on all aspects of the crisis; subprime mortgages, the credit crisis, Bernie Madoff, and the role of the government to name a few. The teaser trailer shows clips of regular citizens, businessmen, newscasters and former president Bush discussing the economic crisis. Words like "depression" and "class war" thrown out there, and it is clear that this documentary seeks to get to the bottom of what caused this crisis, and what we can do to get out of it.

'ts this greedy , envious, Low Moralistic Views on Life that get Uneducated Consumers like her in Financial Crisis.'

No it's superrich who own 70% of America's wealth who profit from selling and insuring subprime mortgages who have caused 10M Americans to risk losing their homes. People have been missold mortgages.... seduced by low interest rates which were then increased.... hidden fees not mentioned. Have you seen where these people were living? They weren't greedy.

Lot of good insights. I listened to the whole show which aired on WBAI radio this afternoon while going over my finances and paying bills and cussing at the WS banksters and politicians they were in bed with who enabled the whole thing.

That idiot Shawn Hannity told me on 9/18/08 that everything was ok. He said that gdp was up and that the markets were fine. 48 hours later my 401k went up in smoke! WHY?

This lady is delusional when she thinks $3000.oo a month gets her to live next to Jennifer Lopez . Its this greedy , envious, Low Moralistic Views on Life that get Uneducated Consumers like her in Financial Crisis. My Mom and Dad who have A1 credit by the way and virtually no debt taught me at a young age, " If you dont have the money, Dont buy it" . It worked for them.

for over 12 years I have been thinking when will this fraud end. Now I know that it never will until people are not able to commit fraud. Sad but true, it will never stop.

This video highlights the root of the problems that we are facing today. I think many things were taken for granted. We need more documentaries like this!
