NBA Dallas Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban produced it! Seeing his name in the credits was a bit of a shock. I have no idea where his politics lie and if he's partisan that would be a bit of a bummer, because this is not a partisan issue.
I'm going to email Cuban & ask him about it. I've emailed him before & he answered, so my fingers are crossed he will again. I know he did partly because he has the money & that's what filmmakers need, but I'd like to know if he felt a particular sympathy for the subject matter as well.
It was a primer for anyone who didn't follow the unfolding details from 5 years ago. So in that fact, I was slightly disappointed, because I didn't learn anything new.
It was hard taking notes in the theater too, and not everyone on screen was identified. I have to Google & find out who the woman was who was at the ISO during the rolling blackouts because I didn't catch her name.
Californians are (or, should be) aware of and outraged by the manipulations Enron was able to perpetuate in the market in both a moral vacuum and an incomplete deregulated environment. We were screwed out of billions and we were gamed politically as well.
We'll never get that money back, even when people do see through the Governator because Cheney got away with locking up his energy papers. More than the Iraq War was worked out at that meeting, you know.
Ken Lay's trial begins in Jan. 2006.
