      abstract = {This film highlights the events that led to the bankruptcy  of Enron in 2001. It was the first in a series of debacles  that included the mammoth corporations Tyco and WorldCom as  well as the leading accounting firm Arthur Andersen.  Investigators, politicians and victims reveal the  incredible story. The film covers the first revelations of  colossal losses, the collapse of the stock, the discovery  that directors had lied to shareholders and the  misappropriation of funds for personal use. The company had  been governed by the cash culture of its managers, where  forgery and the creation of fake companies were commonly  used. While Enron's officers were busy reassuring their  employees and the public that everything was fine, they  were selling their stocks as quickly as they could before  the stock collapsed. Enron s bankruptcy sent shockwaves  throughout the country. Many employees lost their pensions,  their investments and their jobs while stockholders found  their supposedly substantial holdings to be worthless. Even  President Bush's mother-in-law owned $6,000 worth of Enron  stock. Subsequent to the events described in the film, a  number of officers confessed to their deceptive actions. In  May 2006 former chief executives Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey  Skilling were found guilty of fraud and conspiracy in a  trial held in Houston -- the site of Enron s lavish and  once-proud headquarters.},
