PBS Frontline:
Money, Power and Wall Street: Part One

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.

Money, Power and Wall Street: Part Two

Beginning with the government bailout of the collapsing investment bank Bear Stearns in the spring of 2008, FRONTLINE examines how the country's leaders -- Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner -- struggled to respond to a financial crisis that caught them by surprise.

I believe there is 4 parts to this series. I ended up ordering the DVD on amazon.

[Red October1984]

It's not on Youtube....but it's on DVD release here.

Murph The Protector

I really want to see this. It's a documentary about Michael Murphy. One of the men in Operation Red Wings. He was the one who sacrificed himself to get out the call for help to get the Medal of Honor.

Nothing but respect for this man.

Been watching this one on Vietnam seems well balanced, I found it very good. Only draw back was the repetitive same music though out the series, if you seen BATTLEFIELD series on WW2 you know what I mean.
