This timely and informative documentary chronicles the history of America's mortgage finance system, from its origins in the 1930s, when the federal government first made available long-term, fixed-rate loans to new American homeowners, to its current state of crisis, after an excess of risky mortgage financing led to the system's collapse, which in turn triggered a wider economic recession. WE ALL FALL DOWN features dozens of clearly understandable interviews and commentary from a wide variety of industry experts and Wall Street insiders, including mortgage brokers, appraisers, bankers, lawyers, analysts, sellers and buyers, and economics scholars. The film concludes with an analysis of the economic and political impact of the collapse of the mortgage finance system on American society, now and likely for decades to come.
