Gaming Wall St

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.

Wow. The first episode is an introduction to explaining stock trading and introduces the average person to the corruption behind the scene - but the second episode is edge of your seat.

I couldn't stop watching the second episode. It rips the cover off the hidden system and brings into the light the crimes that is integral to the secretive American system of financial greed that is Wall Street.

Don't miss this flashlight into the rotten underbelly of capitalist criminality.

If you have a brain, pass. The first 15 minutes is filler, not getting into the actual story at all. Garbage. Watch Sesame Street instead. The actors are more mature.

Jokes aside, great Documentary!

We need as much noise and attention on this Mess of a stock market.

This was extremely well made, and I will continue to follow these creators, easiest 10/10 of my life.

This kid is everything rn, and having him narrate is genius.

Aside from that, this did such a genius job of exposing what was happening sure the GME fiasco and how it continues.

My ONLY issue is with AOC and Jim Cramer being given a voice in this- they're both financial morons with no more a right to be viewed as an 'expert' than my mom. Cramer was a huge fan of Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos, and pushing those questioning Pfizer to be imprisoned. AOC/Sandy has zero clue how Wall Street really works and the entire time it happened would only spout the most basic talking points.

Otherwise an excellent doc that should be mandatory viewing for anyone who invests.
