On Day Eight

The financial crisis of 2008 was a turning point during which the complexity of our financial system manifested itself. It was a web we had spun for over for more than thirty years ut it turned out to be a giant house of cards. Starting in the US where the Lehman Brothers fell, the crisis spread like wildfire. Only two weeks after Lehman, the crisis infected Europe..

Directed by Yan Ting Yuen, Robert Kosters, On Day Eight leans on a strong ensemble — Jan Peter Balkenende, Wouter Bos, Nout Wellink — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2018.
