What if everything you’ve learned about the Great Depression is only half the story?
Most history books point to the 1929 Wall Street Crash as the beginning of the Great Depression. But the crash was only the spark—not the fire. In this documentary, we uncover the deeper forces that had been building for years: the crushing debt left by World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, the global reparations system, the Gold Standard, central banking failures, collapsing money supply, extreme wealth inequality, protectionist trade policies, and a series of political decisions that transformed a financial downturn into the worst economic disaster of the twentieth century.
We’ll follow the flow of money across continents, examine the decisions made by governments and central banks, and reveal how one policy mistake reinforced another until the global economy unraveled. More importantly, we’ll explore why these forgotten lessons remain relevant today, as many economists warn that modern financial systems exhibit similar vulnerabilities.
