This documentary from Rick Goldsmith is about how owners of hedge fund corporations like Alden Global Capital are buying out news outlets and screwing over many professional journalists out of a job.   Featuring interviews with many real life reporters who have broken some really iconic stories from the past.  This was a very insightful documentary that I wish had a little bit more of a fight in it is all.

Working Class Goes to Hell

Cast: Tamara Krcunovic, Leon Lucev, Szilivia Kriszan

Writer and Director:Miaden Djordjevic


After a factory closes down and workers start getting laid off.  A small group starts to comminucate with the dead in order to seek revenge from their employers.

The primise of this made think this was going to be an Office Space style comedy but with zombies or a bunch of demons get released and wreck havoc on the upper rich. Imaging Pinhead and the other Cenobites from Hellraiser visiting an office is what I kind of expected from this  While it does have the poor getting their revenge on the managment that let them go.  There is very little supernatural elements in this movie besides one character seeing ghostly images and the group performing seances and rituals here and there.
