'Succession' meets 'The Big Short' in this gripping pressure-cooker drama.

Most people think they know what happened in 2008: reckless banks, a housing crash, and financial ruin for ordinary people. Few know about the frantic behind-the-scenes attempts to stop the collapse.

'Pop Goes the Dollar' plunges into the New York Federal Reserve as, one by one, the biggest banks in America crumble. As markets freefall and time runs out, a handful of decision-makers must choose who to save, who to let fail, and whether any of it will be enough. Tim Geithner, President of the NY Fed and a young family man, must confront what he’s prepared to sacrifice in the face of global disaster.

This high-stakes office drama combines financial history with human stories, making a complex crisis both thrilling and accessible. Fast-paced, tense, and thought-provoking, 'Pop Goes the Dollar' is not just about 2008: it’s about the systems that shape our world today.
