Fail State (2017)★ 7.1/10
- Documentário
Direção: Alexander Shebanow
Roteiro: Nicholas Adams, Alexander Shebanow, Regina Sobel
Executivo produzido pela lenda do noticiário Dan Rather, Fail State investiga o lado negro do ensino superior americano, narrando décadas de decisões políticas em Washington DC que deram origem a uma poderosa e altamente predatória indústria universitária com fins lucrativos. Com ecos da crise das hipotecas subprime, o filme revela como as faculdades com fins lucrativos exploraram milhões de estudantes de baixa renda e minorias, deixando-os com diplomas inúteis e se afogando em dívidas de empréstimos estudantis. O diretor Alexander Shebanow traça a ascensão, queda e ressurgimento da indústria universitária com fins lucrativos, revelando o apoio de Wall Street e o relacionamento incestuoso com os reguladores e legisladores encarregados de supervisioná-los.
