Película basada en hechos reales del corredor de bolsa neoyorquino Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio). A mediados de los años 80, Belfort era un joven honrado que perseguía el sueño americano, pero pronto en la agencia de valores aprendió que lo más importante no era hacer ganar a sus clientes, sino ser ambicioso y ganar una buena comisión.

The St. Valentine's Day massacre is the stuff of American legend, and the tale is familiar to nearly everyone. But the story of that bloody day in Chicago has never been told, or seen, like this before. Cutting-edge graphics and frenetic recreations accompany Johnny Fratto, son of onetime Al Capone-associate Louis "Lew" Fratto, back to Chicago, where he uncovers massacre myths and learns more about the life his father and uncles led when they roamed those lawless streets in the 1920s. Johnny gets guidance and opinions from a team of renowned Chicago gangster experts, and bridges the gap between the stories he heard as a little boy and the reality he lived growing up in a mob family. Johnny's take about what happened on Feb. 14, 1929 will surprise you.
25 Million Pounds details the collapse of Barings Bank in the mid 1990s primarily by a broker called Nick Leeson, who lost £827 million ($1.3 billion) by speculating on futures contracts. The film contextualises the downfall as the history of Barings Bank was one of the oldest and most prestigious merchant banks in Britain, run by the same family for decades with extensive ties to Britain's elites. But in the late 19th century Barings almost went bankrupt after investing heavily in South American bonds, including backing the construction of a sewer system in Buenos Aires. The bank was saved by The Bank of England, but Edward Baring, the head of the bank, was financially ruined and never recovered.
Ripped Off: Madoff and the Scamming of America tells Madoff's story superbly, although it was put together before Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison without parole, so it's not quite complete—perhaps when he gets out, he can watch this DVD and fill in any gaps. There's a little bit of sensationalism here and there (and really, how could there not be? The man stole $65 billion!), but for the most part it's surprisingly levelheaded and, yes, even historical.

"Inside Job" muestra la escandalosa historia de un “gobierno de Wall Street” y explica cómo la reciente crisis financiera ha sido efectivamente un “inside job” o delito interno colectivo ejecutado por banqueros, políticos, agencias calificadoras, burócratas y profesores universitarios, que utilizaron la desregulación para crear y promover complejos instrumentos financieros para beneficiar sus propias cuentas bancarias, mientras hacían la vista gorda cuando el mercado subprime de hipotecas se desplomó, destruyendo los ahorros de toda una vida de muchas personas corrientes.
