Hank: Five Years From the Brink

Independent
For three weeks in September 2008, one person was charged with preventing the collapse of the global economy. No one understood financial markets better than Hank Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. Yet Paulson wasn't quite the pinstriped banker he appeared to be. A devout Christian Scientist with left-leaning politics, he'd refused two previous offers to be Secretary of the Treasury before finally accepting. In Hank: Five Years From the Brink, Paulson tells the complete story of how he persuaded banks, congress, and presidential candidates to sign off on nearly $1 trillion in bailouts, even as he found the behavior that led to the crisis, and the rescue packages themselves, morally reprehensible. Directed by Academy Award nominee Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost, Some Kind of Monster), the film features Paulson and his wife of 40 years, Wendy. It's a riveting portrait of leadership under unimaginable pressure, and a marriage under unfathomable circumstances.

History Rediscovered: The Nazis Strike

Independent
The second film in Frank Capra's epic "Why We Fight" series, "The Nazis Strike" was released in 1943 — a year after the Academy Award-winning "Prelude to War." Where that film dealt with the history of Japanese and Italian aggression, this installment focuses on Nazi Germany and Hitler's diplomatic and military deceptions. Part history lesson, part call to arms, the film makes clear that the invasion of Poland in 1939 was the last in a long series of violations of international law, made by a leader who believed he was destined to achieve world domination. Despite the fact that Hitler made clear his expansionist ideas in Mein Kampf, he was also a master propagandist who deceived the French and British. Their appeasement of Hitler resulted in the worst challenge to Western Civilization in a millennium. The documentary concludes with a stirring portrait of the Invasion of Poland.
