A new and timely acquisition
As the words "foreclosure" and "credit crunch" are on everyone's mind and in every other news report, Icarus Films has acquired the documentary WE ALL FALL DOWN: THE AMERICAN MORTGAGE CRISIS, a clear and accessible explanation of what led to the current downfall.
Twelve months in the making, this film documents the evolution of America's mortgage finance from its origins in the 1930s to its recent degeneration into a nationwide pyramid scheme that sparked a global financial collapse.
The DVD is scheduled to be released by April 1, but you can pre-order your copy now!
