The Federal Reserve was created in 1913, signed into law by Woodrow Wilson after a run of bank panics convinced Congress the country needed a central authority to stabilize its money supply. James Corbett's film traces that founding story and argues the system has worked against the public interest ever since, walking through its structure of regional banks, its relationship to Congress and the Treasury, and the secrecy around its decision-making. The 2008 financial crisis anchors the second half: the film lays out how the biggest banks were bailed out with public money while ordinary borrowers absorbed the losses, and uses that episode as evidence for its larger claim that the Fed serves banking interests over citizens. Archival footage of Wilson, congressional hearings, and financial-crisis news coverage supports the argument, along with interviews and narration built around Corbett's own research. The film closes by pointing to Bitcoin and similar alternatives as ways to route around central banking entirely, framing the choice as one between a system it calls exploitative and a decentralized replacement.
