Filmmaker Bet on Financial Crisis, Used Profit to Make Documentary About Federal Reserve

"Fast-forward just more than a decade. Bruce’s dire warnings have come true — and he made a tidy bundle shorting the financial stocks that were at the heart of the global meltdown. Now that money is funding his documentary about the crisis, 'Money for Nothing,' focused on the role of the Federal Reserve in stoking booms and busts. The film includes interviews with former Fed chairman Paul Volcker and other top officials. It has been screened for bond traders in New York, executives in Dallas and government-affairs types in Washington."
