Money, Power and Wall Street: Part One

FRONTLINE is investigative journalism that questions, explains and changes our world.

Season 2012 Episode 7 | 59m 14s | CC

As Wall Street innovated, its revenues skyrocketed, and financial institutions of all stripes tied their fortunes to one another. FRONTLINE probes deeply into the story of the big banks -- how they developed, how they profited, and how the model that produced unfathomable wealth planted the seeds of financial destruction.
