This doc was really well shot and interviews were handled really well. Betheny MacLean was the sleeper I felt, intelligent, dedicated, very lovely and yet somewhat unsuspecting in her role. I liked the segways and the music, it helped to maintain the pace and offer a perspective on the culture of Enron and some of the dirty little secrets that were so evil inside that organization. There is so much more I would like to say, the accounting practices etc., it was well-presented. I have an interest in financial services but only loosely followed Enron from time to time. And I remember wondering, "what does this company do"? Thank you for answering that too. Well done! |
