Hank: Five Years From the Brink

Synopsis: On the fifth anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, RadicalMedia and Bloomberg Businessweek Films have teamed up to produce Hank: Five Years from the Brink. In the film, Hank Paulson takes us back in time to tell the complete story of how he worked tirelessly to persuade banks, members of congress, and presidential candidates to sign off on nearly $1 trillion in bailouts - even as he found the behavior that led to the crisis, and the bailouts themselves, morally reprehensible. To see the crisis through Paulson's eyes sheds new light for viewers on both the crisis that was, and the depression that could have been. The film features intimate interviews with Paulson and his wife of 40 years, Wendy, recounting the incredible time. It is a riveting portrait of leadership and courage under unimaginable pressure - and a marriage surviving under unfathomable circumstances.     Source: Amazon.com
