Open Culture - Meltdown: The Secret History of the Global Financial Collapse


Cool documentary share from Open Culture. This series explains WHY people are protesting on Wall Street in the #occupywallstreet movement, our own little experiment in citizen rebellion.
Doc Zone, a documentary series produced by CBC Television, is now airing, Meltdown, a four part investigation into the great financial debacle of 2008. Along the way, the CBC’s Terence McKenna takes viewers “behind the headlines and into the backrooms at the highest levels of world governments and banking institutions, revealing the astonishing level of backstabbing and tension behind the scenes as the world came dangerously close to another Great Depression.”


Below, we have posted the first episode called “The Men Who Crashed the World.” The remaining programs can be watched by clicking here and scrolling down the page. Or by heading to Al Jazeera’s English site, which also hosts the four-part series. H/T to William for sending this along…
