Money as Debt I

Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation explains in very simple terms what money is and how it is created.

Money as Debt II – Promises Unleashed

Money as Debt III – Evolution Beyond Money

Money as Debt III, the third and final movie in the Money as Debt trilogy, presents a comprehensive picture of how money could “work” in the future.

It’s a blueprint full of surprising specifics for creating a whole new system applied with technologies that exist right now. The ideas that are presented in this documentary open the door to a self-generating, self-balancing, and most of all sustainable global monetary system backed by real value and open to all.

Money as Debt III demonstrates in simple terms why the current set up of the global financial system is the root cause of the global financial turmoil. It shows that there is now – and there has long been – an alternative way “to do money”.

In Breaking the Bank, Frontline producer Michael Kirk (Inside the Meltdown, Bush's War) draws on a rare combination of high-profile interviews with key players Ken Lewis and former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain to reveal the story of two banks at the heart of the financial crisis, the rocky merger and the government's new role in taking over — some call it "nationalizing" — the American banking system.

It all began on that fateful weekend in September 2008 when the American economy was on the verge of melting down. Then-Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson, his former protégé John Thain and Ken Lewis, one of the most powerful bankers in the country, secretly cut a deal to merge Bank of America and Merrill Lynch.

"This is more than a story about just one man or one bank," says producer Michael Kirk. "This is the story of the most important change in the relationship between government and private business in a generation."
