Movie Screening: The Big Short

The Film Club is proud to be partnering with the Finance Club again to bring you The Big Short. Adapted from a true story, the movie details how four individuals were able to predict the onset of the subprime mortgage crisis in the mid-2000s and betted against the banks to make some big money. It is a must-see for any business school student. The movie won an Oscar for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay.

We will have pizzas and more, courtesy of the Finance Club!
