Two new documentaries look at the financial meltdown five years later.
One is called “Money For Nothing: Inside the Federal Reserve,” and is in limited release in theaters today. The other, which will be released directly to Netflix subscribers on Monday, is called “Hank: Five Years from the Brink.”
Do they tell the truth? And are they any good? We’ve got two perspectives. One from WNYC’s economics editor, Charlie Herman, and the other from Movie Date co-host Kristen Meinzer.
