The majority of the research that I did on my own was compiled from documentaries and movies. I did read some articles but I learned that I am more compelled by informative films rather than writing. The two documentaries I watched were Panic: The Untold Story of the Financial Crisis on Youtube and the Frontline documentary Abacus: Small Enough to Jail.  

I interviewed a total of 8 people for my project. All the people gave me a unique view of how the financial crisis impacted their lives and others. It also opened doors to more research that I had to do after what I learned in the interviews.
