Hank: 5 Years From The Brink

As Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson was tasked with preventing a collapse of the global economy during the financial crisis of 2008. In Hank: Five Years from the Brink, he tells Academy Award-nominated director Joe Berlinger (Paradise Lost, Some Kind of Monster) a riveting story of leadership under unimaginable pressure, explaining how he strategized and improvised to persuade banks, congress and presidential candidates to sign off on nearly $1 trillion in rescue packages, a move even he found morally reprehensible.
