When Charles Ferguson won a 2011 Oscar for his documentary Inside Job, it was his acceptance speech that made headlines. The filmmaker, whose documentary examined the financial crisis of 2008, used his few minutes on national television to level criticism at Wall Street for the continued lack of accountability within the finance industry. Since then, he's continued the conversation by writing Predator Nation, which further examines the important issues raised in Inside Job, arguing that individuals in an out-of-control industry took advantage of a deregulated atmosphere and purposely got rich at the expense of others. Through extensive interviews with insiders and government officials, Ferguson exposes the corrupted networks that caused the economic collapse and offers a plan of action to help the country get back on track. Hear him talk about the book at Oshman Family JCC. Learn More
