From the producers of Oscar nominee 'ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM' comes a Wall Street heist story about a still-unfolding financial crime so big, it has the power to affect all of us. This new documentary rings the alarm on the need for transparency in an increasingly deregulated financial world by following those working to uncover the biggest heist you've never heard of. "The matters of fiscal flimflam and commercial collapse are too important to justify our ignorance of them, so it’s up to filmmakers like Jed Rothstein to translate the physics of a con into a language the uninformed can understand... It’s remarkably propulsive and even entertaining on the screen." - Paste Magazine
"A brisk, entertaining documentary... The China Hustle tells a story with wide implications, the first being that what we see here could be the tip of the iceberg. As we’re talking about the second-biggest economy in the world, the reverberations will be felt everywhere." - S.F. Chronicle
"In horror movies, monsters often lose their power to terrify once they come fully into the frame. But as Rothstein reveals the full shape and size of an ogre that has slipped into our financial markets, just try to calm your growing dread." - Globe & Mail
"Think the trade deficit is a source of economic concern? The China Hustle makes the imminent trade war look like a fight over small change." - Austin Chronicle
SYNOPSIS: Investors on the fringes of the financial world feverishly seek new alternatives for high-return investments in the global markets, and have found a goldmine in China. But when one investor discovers a massive web of fraud, everything else is called into question...
