From the makers of our Double Espresso webTV series, this powerful documentary uses the 'Three Card Monte' game to examine the Occupy Wall Street movement, the casino-like nature of the global economy, debt slavery and the reckless, predatory lending policies of banks. Posing as a couple of confused debt slaves, Manuel Bermudez and Michael Arturo discuss global economics with leading US economist, Bob Ross. Shot on location at Occupy LA, with additional footage from other 'Occupy' demos and US TV news stations, the film is a thought-provoking indictment of the global economy and a warning of worse things to come. Additional footage was obtained and used under American Fair Use copyright laws. Directed and Edited by Mark Coger, the film is written by Double Espresso's writer and co-star, Michael Arturo.
