Recently watched Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005). I had only been 10 at the time and didn’t remember any of it so it was quite fascinating to learn about just how severe the fraud was and the outcomes.

As a result it got me interested in compiling a list of other really good documentaries that really cover huge events like Enron, or the 2008 financial crash or the dot com bubble etc. Could be US only events or stuff that happened around the world that had big impacts.

would love to see everyones recommendations.
