From the producers of ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM comes a Wall Street heist story about a still-unfolding financial crime so big, it has the power to affect all of our wallets. Investors on the fringes of the financial world feverishly seek new alternatives for high-return investments in the global markets, and have found a goldmine in China. But when one investor discovers a massive web of fraud, everything else is called into question. Jed Rothstein's documentary rings the alarm on the need for transparency in an increasingly deregulated financial world by following those working to uncover the biggest heist you've never heard of.

- Interesting Doc. Worth watching. Led me to look into Muddy Waters Research, which has an interesting report on CIFS and is short CIFS. Worth reading if you want more info after watching the doc.Reply
- Excellent movie, anyone who invests in the stock market needs to watch this. Do a search on this movie and see the excellent reviews from various Financial sites such as Forbes, MarketWatch, etc. Very good drama and this is really what is going on, more people need to know about this. It hasn't yet received the notoriety of or mainstream knowledge like the Madoff scandal but this is probably a bigger fraud and mess. Interesting how all this works.Reply
- Very interesting and infuriating documentary marred only by the odd assertion at some point that all of this corruption is a result of capitalism.Reply
- an indepth and poignant look inside the world of chinese corporate culture and it's effect on investors of american exchanges. there's more than enough evidence presented to backup the assertion that the fraud and corruption at the highest levels is stealing money from everyday mom and pop retail investors. it's a searing documentary that should be watched by all, especially by people who invest in the markets and who think that investing in china's boom is a good idea.Reply
- ... assembles some persuasive and detailed evidence. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide much hope for meaningful change.Reply
- Think the trade deficit is a source of economic concern? The China Hustle makes the imminent trade war look like a fight over small change.Reply
- If all of this sounds dry on paper, it's remarkably propulsive and even entertaining on the screen.Reply
- This is one of those documentaries -- like "Abacus" and "Enron" -- that make you boiling mad at greedy bankers, ineffectual politicians and a financial system shedding regulations like the snakes that these people are shed their skin.Reply
- It's impossible to watch The China Hustle without feeling a mixture of incredulous outrage and fury at all the corruption, all the complicity, all the injustice.Reply
- With its cool graphics and satellite-eye view of global chicanery, this is an easy sit for people who enjoyed the comic fictionalizing of The Big Short.Reply
