Inside Job is a 2010 American documentary directed by Charles Ferguson and narrated by Matt Damon, examining the causes of the 2008 global financial crisis. Ferguson structured the film in five parts tracing how deregulation, subprime mortgage lending, complex instruments such as collateralized debt obligations, and credit rating agency practices combined to produce the crisis, alongside a pointed examination of conflicts of interest among academic economists who advised the financial industry while publicly downplaying its risks. The film won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in 2011 and the Directors Guild and Writers Guild awards for documentary filmmaking, and was widely praised for laying out a technically complex subject in accessible terms.
