preview
schedule
 Three middle-aged men in suits and ties stand in front of a montage of images: men in suits dancing and holding glasses of beer, a woman wearing a bikini top and a headdress, an elephant, a woman in a red leotard swinging on a rope, a man breathing fire and three men in button-down shirts and ties holding beer bottles and cheering each other on
So many of them were blinded by the money that they didn't see that they were sinking their own lifeboat. —Mike Muckleroy, former Enron executive ENRON: The Smartest Guys In The Room chronicles one of the most chilling business scandals in history, when top executives of America's seventh largest company walked away with more than one billion dollars, while investors and employees lost everything.
