    Smart, funny, and incredibly relevant!

    This is a great film! I learned so much about how fragile our financial system is, and how closely it's tied to climate change. It's beautifully shot and cleverly weaves in and out of conversations between General Wesley Clark and his son Wes Clark jr. in a way that makes you feel like you're there, part of the conversation. So fascinating!

    I highly recommend this documentary to anyone interested in the future of our country, our democracy, and our planet. Definitely a "must see"!

    Very important and enjoyable film

    I can't recommend this film enough. The film provides an eye-opening analysis of the flaws in our financial system and how this system is leading us towards self-destruction in various ways, such as the irreparable harm the system is inflicting on our climate and what this means for us and our democracy, which this film highlights well. I enjoyed the funny and personable moments in the film between Wes Clark Jr. and his father Wesley Clark, they share a very interesting relationship and they are both passionate about making the world a better place in their own unique ways.

    Informative on financial aspects - a bit goldilocks though

    I enjoyed very much and was informed by the business and economic discussions which have knowledge value outside the climate discussion, however the film works hard on climate fear which is dealt with a bit hysterically as tends to be the case when millennial Trustifarian elites discuss the topic.

    Not the only thing, but one thing I thought the film maker dealt with dishonestly was holding up the netherlands use of bicycles as a virtuous and "non fossil fuel" mode of transport, as if North American's would not ride their bikes IF THEY COULD. Our topography, geographical distances and weather means that only a small portion of us can rely on our bikes to get where we need to go. Many urban centres in NA are similar to Toronto where we have 9 months of ice/snow and a very hilly city and much larger distances than they do in say Amsterdam. I know as I lived there that you can't compare the 2 situations. Torontonians don't have the public transport infrastructure to rely on it. And we have rules against bringing bikes on trains. So one cannot realistically use their bike for a work commute. My train ticket is $18 from a suburb to downtown where you can connect with the underground trains or buses for an additional cost. . It costs $300-$450 per month to park at the train station (not downtown, money can't buy a parking spot there) and then there's the cost of the train ticket itself. I would like to ride my bike to the train station, but that costs $$ and you are not guaranteed a spot and often there isn't one and you aren't allowed to lock your bike to the fence (it'll get removed). And my bike was stolen 4 times. Worse if if you need to travel to another urban centre - a budget rail ticket costs $400 to Montreal last I priced it (1 way). Although the film does arrive at the need for governmental intervention in the matters of infrastructure, a valuable observation.

    A timely documentary that everyone needs to see.

    Hot Money delves into how deeply connected the economy and environment are and no matter what your beliefs are, you need to see this film. The human race is on its way down a dangerous path and we need to educate ourselves before it's too late. The relationship and banter between General Wesley Clark and Wes Clark Jr. are a perfect fit for this type of doc. 10/10!

    Sobering

    Hot Money is a really interesting and informative documentary about how the financial system affects climate change. While the film warns of the potential dire consequences of climate change, there is hope in knowing that we still have time to stop it, and the film offered up many solutions to this crisis. I also appreciated how there were moments of levity in such a serious film.
