The Rise and Fall of Lehman Brothers

Dr.Docs' Take
The rise and fall of Lehman Brothers, a 150-year-old Wall Street giant that collapsed in September 2008 in the largest bankruptcy in history and dragged the world down with it. I love a financial autopsy where the hubris is right there in the risk models. Aggressive bets, subprime mortgages, and a firm too arrogant to see the cliff. A clean, damning account of the exact moment the whole system started to fold.
This documentary charts the dramatic collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Wall Street giant that fell in September 2008 after more than 150 years in business. It explains how aggressive risk taking led to the largest bankruptcy in history and helped trigger a global financial crisis. The film traces the decisions and greed behind a defining catastrophe of modern finance. A revealing watch on banking, the crash and the roots of economic disaster.
