Fail State (2017)★ 7.1/10
- Documental
Dirección: Alexander Shebanow
Guion: Nicholas Adams, Alexander Shebanow, Regina Sobel
Con la producción ejecutiva de la leyenda de las noticias Dan Rather, Fail State investiga el lado oscuro de la educación superior estadounidense, narrando décadas de decisiones políticas en Washington DC que han dado lugar a una industria universitaria poderosa y altamente depredadora con fines de lucro. Con ecos de la crisis de las hipotecas de alto riesgo, la película pone al descubierto cómo las universidades con fines de lucro explotaron a millones de estudiantes de minorías y de bajos ingresos, dejándolos con títulos sin valor y ahogándolos en deudas de préstamos estudiantiles. El director Alexander Shebanow rastrea el ascenso, la caída y el resurgimiento de la industria universitaria con fines de lucro, descubriendo su respaldo de Wall Street y su relación incestuosa con los reguladores y legisladores encargados de supervisarlos.
