If you thought the real estate collapse and the ensuing financial crisis got Wall Street to wise up, guess again. Bankers are still rolling the dice on high risk investments, looking for a big pay day and yet another scandal is exposed in the documentary, “The China Hustle.”
Directed by Jed Rothstein, and produced by Stacey Offman, Alex Gibney and Frank Marshall, the film dives into yet another tale of a too-good-to-be-true investment that turns out to be hollow inside. Here’s the official synopsis:
From the producers of ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM comes a Wall Street heist story about a still-unfolding financial crime so big, it has the power to affect all of our wallets. Investors on the fringes of the financial world feverishly seek new alternatives for high-return investments in the global markets, and have found a goldmine in China. But when one investor discovers a massive web of fraud, everything else is called into question. Jed Rothstein’s documentary rings the alarm on the need for transparency in an increasingly deregulated financial world by following those working to uncover the biggest heist you’ve never heard of.
“The China Hustle” opens in theaters, On Demand, on iTunes and on Amazon Video on March 30, 2018.
