New Documentary Questions Cause of Financial Crisis

GOLD COAST, Australia, Sept. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --In his feature documentary debut End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless Australian filmmaker Tim Delmastro asks if the global financial crisis can be traced back to a single ill-fated presidential decision.  What follows is an engaging look at the crisis, and the role governments may have played in its growth.

Filmed in late 2011 in the US, Japan, UK and Australia, End of the Road features commentary from some of the most successful financial experts in the world, including billionaire Eric Sprott (Fund Manager of The Year, 2007), Peter Schiff (renowned money manager), Mike Maloney (precious metals advisor to Robert Kiyosaki) and James G. Rickards (best-selling author and consultant to the US Department of Defense). 

In candid interviews these experts express their personal, sometimes controversial opinions on the cause of the crisis, as well as their views on the financial crisis that is still to come.  The interviews are supplemented with archival footage as well as current data and trends, creating an easy-to-follow narrative designed to entertain as it informs.

The film is being distributed through Mercury Media International, as well as being available through Amazon and Distrify.  Since its release, End of the Road  has seen a swell of word-of-mouth popularity, which has attracted the attention of mainstream broadcasters worldwide. 

Tim Delmastro has worked in the film industry for over a decade, and has always been a supporter of documentary film.  In 2011 he formed 100th Monkey Films with the goal of releasing documentaries which would help viewers understand their world a little better.  "Economics is an issue that affects every single one of us" says Tim, "and yet so few people understand or care about it.  My hope is that after watching the film, viewers will start to take an interest into what governments are doing with their money, and start asking questions."

The trailer can be seen at the film's official website www.endoftheroadfilm.com.
