I.O.U.S.A.

Aroview: Cogent, accessible doco on the nightmare of US fiscal irresponsibility that lets the expert heads and engaging graphics do the talking.

It chiefly targets the audience most immediate to the problem -- ordinary Americans -- with a strong wake-up-and-smell-the-bad-cheques message, but it is a fascinating watch for any global citizen. After all, US problems are the world's, and as such the documentary embraces global history, economics, and geopolitics for illumination.

A timely enterprise, as US national debt surpasses the incomprehensible $10-trillion mark, this spare and non-partisan investigation lays out the easily bewildering terrain of its subject with great clarity and insight.
