<> is the latest film from Danny Schechter, "The News Dissector", director of the award-winning hit WMD (Weapons of Mass Deception), an expose of the media's role in the Iraq War. The Emmy-winning former ABC News and CNN producer's new hard-hitting documentary investigates why so many Americans are being strangled by debt through the emergence of the phenomena known as 'Financialization, the debt-and-credit industrial complex."
While many Americans may be "maxing out" on credit cards, there is a deeper story: all economic power around the world is shifting into fewer hands. This will lead to an unavoidable consumer debt meltdown. This predicts Schechter will have frightening consequences for us all.
