Betting on Zero

2016 · 104 min Documentary
7.1 / 10 · TMDB

Bill Ackman, a formidable and unyielding hedge fund manager, stakes a billion dollars on a monumental financial crusade. His target is Herbalife, the global nutrition behemoth he publicly denounces as the largest pyramid scheme in history. In retaliation, Herbalife's executives brand Ackman a market manipulator driven by greed. The documentary thrusts viewers into the heart of this clash, where more than money is at stake—it's a battle of ideologies, with the livelihoods of countless distributors and the very integrity of Wall Street hanging in the balance.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Filmmaker Ted Braun constructs a gripping financial thriller, where the high-stakes dance of short selling and public allegations generates a detective-like suspense. The camera serves as a neutral observer in both corporate boardrooms and the homes of ordinary distributors, revealing the two faces of a complex coin.

What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the moral architecture of modern finance, where truth becomes the ultimate commodity in a war of narratives. — MovieFinder Editorial
