The Flaw (2011) delves into the financial crisis of 2008, sparked by the admission of Alan Greenspan to the U.S. Congress that he had overestimated the self-regulating capabilities of free markets. This thought-provoking documentary, directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Sington, explores the intricate causes of the economic downturn with unprecedented depth. Through insightful interviews with prominent economists such as Robert Shiller, Joseph Stiglitz, and Louis Hyman, as well as testimonies from Wall Street insiders and those affected by the crash, including former New York Times correspondent Ed Andrews and former Deutsche Bank trader Andrew Luan, the film offers a unique and captivating narrative. It reveals how unchecked mortgage lending and the resulting housing and credit bubble led to a near-collapse of the global economy. The documentary also highlights the role of income inequality in fostering economic instability, urging a reevaluation of economic theories and policies to prevent future crises.
