Collapse
A film by Chris Smith
A former Los Angeles police officer turned independent reporter, Michael Ruppert predicted the current financial crisis at a time when most Wall Street analysts were still in denial. In this new film from Chris Smith, Ruppert recounts his career as a radical thinker and spells out the crises he sees ahead. He portrays a future that resembles apocalyptic science fiction. Listening to his rapid flow of opinions, the viewer is likely to question some of the rhetoric as paranoid or deluded; and to sway back and forth on what to make of the extremism. Smith lets viewers form their own judgments.
Critical Reaction
