O Canada

A good ( and funny, despite the subject matter ) documentary on Canada's banking system came out last year. The producers have made it available for free download. It's called 'O Canada, Our Bought And Sold Out Land'.

You can get it through here: http://www.ohcanadamovie.com/

"...explores the history of banking, the selling out of the prosperity of Canada, the clearance sale of Canadian businesses and the political liquidation of public infrastructures to the multi-national corporate oligarchy."

The inside look at the mechanisms of the fiat/fractional reserve system apply to the US, as well.
