What In Debt We Trust: America Before the Bubble Bursts Is About
The documentary takes up the growing problem of debt in America and argues that it is not individual profligacy but an arrangement that was built. According to the film, credit card companies, lobbyists, media groups and the administration of the day deregulated the lending business and cleared the way for a culture dependent on credit. The account shows how the lowest earners came to owe more than they could carry and how repossessions became an ordinary thing. These are the film’s own claims; the documentary speaks from an openly declared side. The account also argues against the language that describes debt as a moral failing, and puts the matter as policy rather than personal choice. Danny Schechter’s ninety seven minute American documentary was completed in 2007.
