When Hurricane Katrina ravaged America’s Gulf Coast, it laid bare an uncomfortable reality—America is not only far from the world’s wealthiest nation; it is crumbling beneath a staggering burden of individual and government debt. Maxed Out takes us on a journey deep inside the American debt-style, where everything seems okay as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. Sure, most of us may have that sinking feeling that something isn’t quite right, but we’re told not to worry. After all, there’s always more credit! Maxed Out shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of “preferred customer” and tells us why the poor are getting poorer and the rich getting richer. By turns hilarious and profoundly disturbing, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us.

Join MN for Warren for this showing of Maxed Out. Elizabeth Warren was a featured interview in Maxed Out, where she discussed predatory lending and the ways it contributes to ongoing economic instability and financial crises. The post-film Q&A will examine themes in the documentary, connect material in the documentary to the current economic situation in the United States, and educate viewers how to protect themselves from financial traps.
