Using vibrant archival footage and firsthand accounts, this gripping documentary explores the NYC fiscal crisis of 1975, an extraordinary, overlooked episode in urban American history that saw an already struggling city of 8 million people brought to the edge of bankruptcy and social chaos by a perfect storm of greed, incompetence, ambitious social policy, and poor governance.
“The film feels simultaneously like a time capsule of a bygone era and a woefully relevant exposé of the failings of current, greed-fuelled bureaucracy.” - POV Magazine
