Film Review: Enron, The Smartest Guys in the Room
A Documentary Film Written and Directed by Alex Gibney
Film reviewed by Jane Alexander Stewart, Ph.D.
CinemaShrink Says "Enron the film is a must-see film, documenting stories of greed by Enron the firm, the likes of which you have to see to believe! And I didn't even know when I wrote this review that the Enron fiasco caused a shut off electricity in Tbilisi, Georgia/Russia—which I found out about in the documentary film, Powertrip." A Documentary Film Written and Directed by Alex Gibney
Writing credits: Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind (Authors: The Smartest Guys in the Room: The Amazing Rise and Scandalous Fall of Enron)

The town is divided into the visible, reputable, upper-middle class and the less visible, but far larger, class that isn't. The better people for the most part work in middle or upper management at one of the several huge, multi-national services companies in town. Everyone else gets by. The layoffs at the big factories on the outskirts of town have left a quiet wasteland of older people trying to find work and younger people trying to find a future.
