Enron examines one of the greatest corporate disasters in history, in which top executives from one of the largest companies in America walked away with over a billion dollars, leaving investors and employees with nothing.
This fascinating and revealing doc features insider accounts and startling corporate audio and video tapes that reveal colossal personal excesses of the Enron hierarchy and the utter moral vacuum that posed as corporate philosophy.
The film studies how Enron’s defrauding of investors, employees and the entire state of California was not so much the product of a few bad apples as the ultimate result of a deregulated free-market system. Far from checking that the system worked, accountants Arthur Anderson, banks like JP Morgan and Chase, countless lawyers and brokers all took their share and looked the other way. The result is many shattered lives and a new governor of California.
