DVD Reviews of In Debt We Trust
DVD Review: Wasting Money
Summary: 1 Stars
The least informative documentary I have ever seen and I am a career student. This documentary provided no proof for its claims. All of the claims are backed by indivdual opinions with no creditability. Dont waste your money... Email me and I will mail you my copy.DVD Review: awesome docu and the music is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This docu is as informative as it is depressing but needs to be watched by EVERYONE. You should buy this just for the "indie" debt songs sprinkled throught. I love it! Now off to spend w/ my credit card :)DVD Review: A Must for Young Adults!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is clearly a great flick that lets the viewer 'see' how the banks view you the credit consumer. It really goes into accurate detail on how the finance industry is trying to snare consumers from and young age and create a generation of debt slaves. They also have a chilling prediction on where all this 'debt' is heading. I highly recommend this flick.DVD Review: In Debt We Trust

Description of In Debt We Trust
Just a few decades ago, owing more money than you had in your bank account was the exception, not the rule. Yet, in the last 10 years, consumer debt has doubled and, for the first time, Americans are spending more than they're saving -- or making. This April, award-winning former ABC News and CNN producer Danny Schechter investigates America's mounting debt crisis in his latest hard-hitting expose, IN DEBT WE TRUST.While many Americans are "maxing out" on credit cards, there is a much deeper story: power is shifting into fewer hands...with frightening consequences. IN DEBT WE TRUST reveals a hitherto unknown cabal of credit card companies, lobbyists, media conglomerates and the Bush administration itself, which has colluded to deregulate the lending industry, ensuring that a culture of credit dependency can flourish. In the film, Schechter exposes the mechanisms and machinations behind the hidden financial and political complex that allows even the lowest wage earners to indebt themselves so heavily that house repossessions have become commonplace. One expert in the film goes so far as to dub this "21st-century serfdom."
Inspired by scholar Robert Manning - one of the films' key advisers' - and his seminal book "Credit Card Nation", IN DEBT WE TRUST showcases his insights about the impact of debt on young people and our society. It also suggests the kinds of practical efforts needed to empower the public with information to avoid the traps of debt dependency.
The whole world depends on the economic stability of the United States. Yet, as its national and consumer debt escalates, our interconnected global economy is at incredible risk. IN DEBT WE TRUST, as timely and relevant as a film can be, delivers an urgent warning that can't be ignored.
