MAXED OUT ... Documentary I saw the other night
Link to movie
BRIEF SYNOPSIS:
When Hurricane Katrina ravaged America's Gulf Coast, it laid bare an uncomfortable reality—America is not only far from the world's wealthiest nation; it is crumbling beneath a staggering burden of individual and government debt. Maxed Out takes us on a journey deep inside the American debt-style, where everything seems okay as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. Sure, most of us may have that sinking feeling that something isn't quite right, but we're told not to worry. After all, there's always more credit!
Maxed Out shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer and the rich getting richer. By turns hilarious and profoundly disturbing, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us.
Full synopsis and add'l info

I rented this from netflix..It was really good! I had no idea about the corruption and schemes that they have going on with these credit card companies.

I showed this to my eco class. It was depressing, but I thought it was pretty good.

Re: MAXED OUT ... Documentary I saw the other night
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! i watched it today and it was depressing BUT so interesting. I am going to make everyone I know watch it.
My parents got themselves into a LOT of debt ( now they are "okay" ) and it is infuriating to watch all of the processes that go on behind the scenes to ensure that they never truly recover.
