Description
In 2008, Lehman Brothers, a 158-year-old Wall Street bank, collapsed after betting heavily on risky mortgage-backed securities.
The firm managed over $600 billion in assets, yet failed in just 48 hours, triggering the 2008 global financial crisis.
This short finance documentary breaks down how Lehman Brothers collapsed, why it was too big to fail — until it wasn’t, and how one bad decision erased a century of financial power, changing the global economy forever.
