Mortgage Crisis 2008 in Hindsight: the HBO film

 Here's another update to the story. HBO did a movie about the mortgage crisis of 2008 called 

Panic: The Untold Story of the 2008 Financial Crisis

Like Meltdown, this one uses film clips of the main participants in Washington, but it is mostly interviews done after a few years (about 2011 I think) combined with some video clips of the events. There are on-the-street and Congressional testimony and White House discussions. There is quite a bit about the politics of the time and of the presidential candidates. It's quite inclusive with regard to the events in the United States. It doesn't however, deal with the international bigger picture except in one minor way.

My view of the events was (obviously) a bit different, but this film fills in a lot of the gaps which I had never known.
