Who payed the critics

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Think about living your life blind from birth and then one day getting some sight back. That's what watching "Money As Debt" I, II, and III did for me. Then "The Money Masters" helped, too. No big audiences for these movies, but IMHO, this stuff should be in every school. It will help you live better and it might even save your life. Or your kids' lives. Bold statements. But you can't protect yourself from an enemy you can't see and don't know about. Watch and learn about the people who get rich by making you work harder and end up with less. Here's a hint: It's not who you think it is. They're good at hiding. Schools won't teach you about them, either. I studied Economics, Government and Finance at some of the best schools, but this stuff somehow wasn't part of any course. Why does it get left out? Watch and learn. This is stuff we don't *know* we don't know about. That makes us blind and helpless, which is the way some people like it. Presidents of the United States have been killed to keep us that way. There's lots more, but once you've seen these first 4 movies, you'll know where to look and you'll be able to find lots more. I'm not going to make this review any longer. But please, watch these *great* movies!

Really a nice up to the point animated documentary. I have to admit that the animation is done really cheap but because it's a documentary it doesn't matter at all to me. It asks questions and answers them in an understandable way even for me though English is not my first language. The animations look like they were done with Flash but by someone who is not so experienced at programming with Flash. And the speaker is sometimes not that motivated but you can clearly hear that dubbing is not is his first profession, the quality of the recording is also mediocre. One thing that could have been better was that sometimes there were quotes just displayed on the screen, I'd prefer them to be read be someone, that happened quite often. But all in all documentaries are about content and this documentary definitely made me a bit smarter so go give it a try, maybe it will help you too to understand the way that money and banks work against democracy and freedom.
