I recommend everyone to watch the documentary "Active Measures".

Trump has been having business with the Russian mafia for decades.
If you have not already watched it, Watch "Active Measures" about the Manafort/Putin/Trump money laundering ties...
The reason I mention this here is that the former President of Estonia is interviewed in the documentary a bit.
I was wondering why would they be interviewing the President of Estonia regarding the Russian Mafia/Manafort/Trump laundering -- Welp - this is why.
Thank you!
- "The big short" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596363/?ref_=nv_sr_1):
Good actors, nice style, sometimes funny, interesting. Again some good explanations and examples about how short selling works, recap about the US housing bubble, rating agencies and the whole finance industry in general.
I can think that probably the point of this film is to make people get rid of their naive view of the financial market/industry? E.g. in my case I always tended to think that it involved cause&effect / action&reaction but this does not seem to be always true. It triggers indirectly a lot of thoughts about many other themes (e.g. is self-regulation effective, impact of governments getting rid of existing regulations, complexity and interconnections in the financial markets, risk analysis, etc...).
- "Active measures" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8135494/?ref_=nv_sr_1): pending... (cannot hear about this stuff anymore, but the documentary has a high rating, so I'll give it a try)
Watch the Big Short.
And given the times, really make sure you watch all the Russian/Putin/Trump documentaries - specifically "Active Measures"
