250 St. Paul St., St. CatharinesThe 2008 Global Financial Crisis almost destroyed the world economy, and led to the rise of Donald Trump. And yet very few people saw it coming. The Oscar-winning film The Big Short is Adam McKay’s hilarious and infuriating account of what actually happened, starring Christian Bale, Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt.

The film will be followed with a discussion and audience Q&A with political science professors Stefan Dolgert and Blayne Haggart.
