I.O.U.S.A.
Directed by Patrick Creadon
A sobering, data-driven examination of America's structural fiscal crisis that prioritizes economic analysis over emotional connection.
With the country's debt growing out of control, Americans by and large are unaware of the looming financial crisis. This documentary examines several of the ways America can get its economy back on the right track. In addition to looking at the federal deficit and trade deficit, the film also closely explores the challenges of funding national entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
