What is the Federal Reserve system? How did it come into existence? Is it part of the Federal Government? How does it create money? Why is the public kept in the dark about these important matters? 

In this feature-length documentary film, Internet hero, James Corbett explores these important questions and pulls back the curtain on America's Central Bank.

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."

- President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 

letter to Colonel Edward House, 

November 21, 1933

All our lives we've been told that economics is boring. It's dull. It's not worth the time it takes to understand it. And all our lives, 

we've been lied to.

War. Poverty. Revolution. They all hinge on economics. And economics all rests on one key concept: money.

Money. It is the economic water in which we live our lives. We even call it 'currency'; it flows around us, 

carries us in its wake. Drowns those who are not careful.

We use it every day in nearly every transaction we conduct. We spend our lives working for it, worrying about it, saving it, spending it, pinching it. It defines our social status. It compromises our morals. People are willing to fight, die and kill for it.

But what is it? Where does it come from? How is it created? Who controls it? It is a remarkable fact that, given its central importance in our lives, not one person in a hundred could answer such basic questions about money as these.

Such a profound state of ignorance could not come about naturally. From the time we are children, we are curious about the world and eager to learn about the way it works. And what could lead to a better understanding of the way the world works than a knowledge of money, its creation and destruction? 

Yet discussion of this topic is fastidiously avoided in our school years and ignored in our daily life. Our monetary ignorance is artificial, a smokescreen that has been erected on purpose and perpetrated with the help of complicated systems and insufferable economic jargon.

Let's learn what money is all about, once and for all.
