After starting a painting business right before the housing crash, a filmmaker drives over 35,000 miles to track down the people who saw it coming and look back at the responses to the largest financial crisis since the great depression.

Co-written by NY Times bestselling author Tom Woods, The Fall of 2008 is a critical, non-partisan examination of the policies and events that shaped the United States economy into one bursting bubble after another. Traveling the world for answers after starting a painting business just in time for the housing crash, filmmaker Jimmy Morrison drove 35,000 miles to track down the people who saw it coming, seeking to understand the effects of the responses to the housing crash. Informative, eye-opening, fresh, funny, and occasionally shocking, The Fall of 2008 skillfully demystifies the relationship between the banks, the Federal Reserve, and the United States government for the economist and layperson alike. A sequel to the award winning 2019 film The Housing Bubble, the film is the Empire Strikes Back of this trilogy, with the final film The Bigger Bubble coming out in 2025.—Let Us Disagree Films
