Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room

Synopsis
Based on the whistle-blowing novel by Bethany McLean, the film is a searing examination of the Enron accounting scandal, revealing the psychology of greed and corporate corruption that facilitated the company’s rise to power and also its fall. Jeff Skilling, Andy Fastow and Chief Executive Officer Ken Lay give candid interviews that illustrate their skill at deflecting hard questions and egotistically boasting about the company’s success. DVD extras include deleted scenes; making-of featurette; audio commentary.
