The "Crisis!" film series continues Thursday, February 27, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Burchfield Penney Art Center with the Frontline documentary Money, Power and Wall Street: Parts I and II. First broadcast in 2012, this PBS documentary features interviews with dozens of the major decision-makers in and out of government about the lead-up to the 2007 housing bubble, the rapid unfolding of the 2008 Lehman Brothers collapse, the devastating consequences to global financial markets in the fall of 2008, and the actions of both the Bush and Obama administrations in late 2008 and early 2009. Each film is preceded by a panel discussion and followed with a question-and-answer session moderated by Bruce Fisher, visiting professor of economics and finance and director of the Center for Economic and Policy Studies.
