A nice video put together by PBS that offers super perspective and some good behind-the-scene moments during the financial crisis over the past year.  Includes interviews with many of the players and journalists who covered the story. Here’s an excerpt from the PBS website:

“On Thursday, Sept. 18, 2008, the astonished leadership of the U.S. Congress was told in a private session by the chairman of the Federal Reserve that the American economy was in grave danger of a complete meltdown within a matter of days. “There was literally a pause in that room where the oxygen left,” says Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.). ”
