Let's make money is a very well made documentary which focuses on how money is made and distributed by investors, corporations and the rich elite through the global financial system.

Nonetheless, very interesting and very enlightening. Definitively worth watching.

The film starts by tracking the hypothetical savings of a typical depositor as they move around the global system, showing exploitation as various financial agents try to produce high returns. There are several interviews with investment managers, politicians, economists as well as homeless people and workers; the film sets them up as good guys and bad guys.

Mark Mobius manages funds with a volume of about 12 billion dollars. He invests in emerging markets.
Mirko Kovats is an investor and among the 15 richest Austrians. In the film he inspects an Indian firm.
Terry Le Sueur is the finance minister of Jersey and explains the development of the island from agriculture and tourism to international financial center and tax haven.
Hermann Scheer is member of the German parliament and criticizes the financial system.
John Perkins claims he was an "Economic Hitman (EHM)" and describes US politics in developing countries based on economic interests.
