In this episode, I go through 12 documentaries on financial markets, grouped into 6 categories and tell you why each one is worth your time and what I personally took away from them.

I’m your host, Sandeep Rao (SEBI Registered Research Analyst – INH000013059).

Movies entertain first and educate along the way. Documentaries do the opposite. And financial markets have produced enough unbelievable stories that they don’t need any Hollywood exaggeration.
