This documentary is an eye opener. It explains complicated issues with the American financial system (with broader implications world-wide) in layman terms.
This documentary can't offer all the answers, not in a couple of hours, and not when trading stock is not fully regulated. It presents a corner case of a few people who held on to their GameStop shares against heavy odds, which exposed a flaw in the system, which is selling shares that do not exist. Apparently, this is done daily, and consistently, by all players.
The documentary goes on to say that the root cause of this problem is that corporations only suffer "nuisance" fines when found guilty, instead of their corporate leaders "suffering the sting", and going to jail.
The vast majority of Americans have suffered the consequences of a corrupt, scamming, unfair financial system. Understanding the issue is only the first step, and this documentary does a good job presenting one example of corporate greed.
