The end of the road, how money became worthless.

In 2008, the world experienced one of the greatest financial turmoils in modern history. Markets around the world started crashing, stock prices plummeted, and major financial institutions, once thought to be invincible, began showing signs of collapse. Governments responded quickly by issuing massive bailouts and stimulus packages in an effort to keep the world economy afloat. Although we’ve been told that these drastic measures prevented a total collapse of our system, a sense of unease fills the population. Cracks have started to appear in the world of finance and indeed in all facets of modern life. What lies ahead as a result of these bold money printing measures? Was the financial crisis solved, or were the problems merely kicked down the road? The documentary “End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless” delves into these questions and explores the consequences of the actions taken during that tumultuous time. Directed by Tim Delmastro
