The Academy Award Winner for Best Documentary in 2010, Inside Job, shows that the 2008 global financial Armageddon was no accident; it was predicted and could have been prevented. Director Charles Ferguson, with narration by Matt Damon, created a compelling, wonderfully illuminating film that provides a detailed examination of the rogue industry that led to the collapse and identifies key corrupt financial and political players. Charles joins Tiller to reflect on his iconic film, in which he discusses getting tipped off to the impending collapse of the housing marking (1:42), intense negotiations with Sony Picture Classics (5:40), framing it as a crime genre flick (8:28), conducting contentious interviews with corrupt bankers and brokers (15:28), blowback from Wall Street (20:42), translating complex ideas for a broad audience (26:12), and what he’s working on now (32:10).
