Charles Ferguson’s newest film, “Inside Job,” examines the realities behind the 2008 economic crisis, which resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs.

The film, which is shortlisted for the Oscars and recently screened in many theaters in Washington, shows evidence that Wall Street executives took advantage of financial deregulation to buy and sell murky investments, eventually derailing the US economy.

Kalyanee Mam, a US-Cambodian, was director of photography and an associate producer on the film.

“The market cannot just be deregulated,” she said in an interview with VOA Khmer. “If it is, it can lead to a [bubble] burst, like what we experienced. There should be rule of law and accountability.”


Over the course of the film’s production, Kalyanee Mam said she saw CEOs keeping quiet about what went wrong and who was responsible.

“No one wants to take responsibility,” she said. “It was tough to get the CEOs of companies to talk to us. No one wanted to talk to us.”

In the end, she said, the poorest would face the consequences: losing jobs and paying for a market bailout. There’s a lesson in that, she said.

“They should put public interest higher than the private one, than the corporate one,” she said.

It's not the end of their game, their end game is to make everyone slave to the state. It's unstopable.
The world been lied to by the banking system.

United States been infiltrated by Nazis. Lie, lie, lie and more lies.
Obama is a Nazi. He doesn't care about you, he wants to destroy America and he is doing a good job
at that. Hitler spirit been here in America and I wonder if Mr Obama is not a reincarnation of Hitler.

Get ready to eat the dust. The next 5 years could get really awful. American government is clamping down on Americans for being self sufficient. They don't want you to grow your own garden. They want to numb your mind with their drugs. They will force you to take poison into your body. Alot of people have consented to that already in the form of vaccinations.

Few years old kids
never lie,and adult
man said,"I never lie
anymore".Did someone
believe what he said?
Everyone is a liar,
except two years old.
The rule of law on
papers or books never
changed,the one came
out from a person
mouth wax and wane
all the time.
Look at Koh Pich
bridge,what happened was the police sprayed water from the water hose to the crowd causing electric shock.
Hun Sen slipped out
his tongue,"it was a
hazard.No one took
responsibility for
this.
From then to now,no one talked about it.
They just kept quiet and what went
wrong,then who was
accountable and responsible.
How sad dead victims and injuries Khmer people!
This was Khmer people would face in the future again again by the irresponsibility of a dictator man called Hun Sen.
