    If you weren't angry about the economy before, get ready!
    HEIST fully exposes the roots of the economic downturn and lays the blame on some parties that you wouldn't even expect. If you want answers as to why the middle class had to sacrifice so much in this recession then see HEIST. You will be outraged to find out that many benefited from the losses of the poor and middle class in this country. Moreover, you will be outraged by how far corporations and commercial banks went to ensure that the American people were totally bankrupt of a financial future. They took Congress, they took the media, the bashed the unions, and they outsourced jobs, there is no lengths they will not go to to make more money. Fortunately HEIST goes on to give the audience solutions. A must-see before you vote!
