Author: MagnoliaPictures
Description: Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us. Great for college students.

We are at the non-sustainability point of Democracy! Now NORTHCOMs homeland defense force trains on US soil to combat civil unrest in the States America is entirely bankrupt! Help yourself - Get another citizenship & move your currency out of the US dollar!

I agree with you in one respect, Bush made it legal for military to help in police matters, obviously planning for the day when a few wealthy people have all the money and need protection from the starving masses.

man this country is f---- up well real change wont come until our goverment has stole and wasted all we have and no one has a job & we cant eat then real change will come........

Gimme a break! The USA is bankrupt & Oct 1st US Military troops are training to fight American citizens US owes 96 trillion it has plundered & pledged to SS & Medicare US plundered another 53 trillion from other trusts US owes 10 trillion interest to a bunch of private bankers it allows to print money out of thin air US owes on 12 trillion Freddie & Fannie; US owes untold to Bernanke's buddies on Wall Street US is over and done with! Thank god for my second citizenship!

The latest bailout package comes to $2.25 trillion, triple the size of the original $700 billion Amazingly the FED has been paying these bankers 188 billion a day all along Altogether, the worlds markets over the past four weeks saw $11 trillion worth of assets wiped out. This sum corresponds to virtually the entire annual gross national product of the US, or the European Union.

I definitely feel no sympathy for peopel that put themselves in CC debt. But it doesnt mean I will ignore that the CC companies business is to put people in debt to take the most money from people. A business like that cannot be forgiven.

I agree with you that these people are partly to blame. But CC companies are definitely predators because of the tactics they use. People want to better their lives, they are convinced to be consumers by decades of repub messages. You heard bush, your doing your part for america, and that sadly has been a driving force for decades. You get these companies using tactics that are known to influence people, and they want people in debt, because thats where they make their money.

Good movie, I rented this over the weekend, while it is one sided, it does expose the gross abuse of the Credit Card companies. Of course the consumer shares the blame, but that can easily be another documentary.

It amazes me how people still casually overlook the true cause of all of this. Their own greed and wanting "stuff" to bolster their identity (The word identity originates from the word Edem, which means "To make same"). We learn that we need things to make ourselves happy, this cannot be done outside of ourselves. So, the CC companies may be there, but to call them preditory to me is a stretch. A preditor cannot be a preditor without a prey...who in this case, is NOT an innocent victim.

he probably meant 96,000 and his inability to distinguish 96,000 from 960,000 didn't help his judgment when using these credit cards did it?

REVOLUTION TODAY! Lets get organized, save people like us, kill who gets in our way, prosecute the others, and make this a better country and world. It just takes us, lets get on it!!!

This movie actually made me cry today. It angers me as a consumer but it also inspires me to go into credit/loan situations defensively. It's sickening how debt can be capitalized on...arming yourself with knowledge is the first step to avoiding becoming a victim.

'W' promised tax cuts. He kept his promise and arranged tax cuts almost 2x 700 billion dollars. Now he bags to give it back to 'save the nation'. 'W' also made a law that allowed mortgages taken by people who could not afford them. Then he urged the people to spend money, so the economy looked better than it was. Then Alan Greenspan (FED) said there was NO housing bubble and not to worry. This was known for years. But US media are controlled by crooks. There's more involved than preditor loans.

You guys need to check out Dave Ramsey! He is awesome!

First of all how in the world did you get $960,000 in credit card debt? Second of all, you need to cut up all of your credit cards, file for bankruptcy and get a second or third job.

Get the education you need to make a higher wage. And declare bankruptcy- it's probably your only way out at this point. Unless you expect a major money gift to come your way soon. just my opinion...

I have $960000 in credit card debt and I only make 9.00/hr. Any ideas?

I checked out a lot of credit card sites and found great deals on VISAcard,ca

not all collectors are like this. i myself am a collector for a big comapany most of you know as GE. although i only collect the early stage, we treat our customers with total respect and we try to work something out without harassment.

Don't you realise that "paying the minimum until I get a good job" is exactly how most people start the downward spiral into debt?

and only on the internet are you immune from getting your ass kicked by any of the above, right?

for a great credit card deal, check out VISAcard,ca

When is it coming out?

How many more horror stories are really out there I wonder?

i don't think anyone in the working middle class could afford to distribute the film, didn't you watch it?
