1929: The Great Crash(2009)

1929: The Great Crash is a documentary that examines the causes and catastrophic aftermath of Wall Street's most devastating collapse. Over six terrifying days in October 1929, share prices plummeted by a third on the New York Stock Exchange, erasing more than $25 billion in individual wealth. The disaster rippled outward as three thousand banks subsequently failed, wiping out countless savings accounts. Through firsthand accounts from surviving eyewitnesses, the film reconstructs how panic and speculation triggered the biggest financial catastrophe in history, laying bare the fragility of the markets and the human cost of unchecked greed.
