  • De dag dat de Dollar valt (49 min.)

    VPRO Backlight and Dutch national newspaper NRC Handelsblad present this ‘what if’ scenario. What if the dollar collapses? Fiction meets facts in this 24 hour scenario. At 9AM a Singapore trader is ordered to sell a large amount of dollars, which sends off the enormous downfall of the dollar. This film shows the results for the world economy every following hour. It ends in Amsterdam, where the only currency accepted by a taxi driver is sigarettes…
    History seems to have caught up with this 2005 film, though in slow-motion…
    Includes interview with analist Stephen Roach, Andy Xie, Maarten Schinkel, Cees Maas, Rob de Wijk and Kees Vendrik.

    I remember watching it a couple of months ago.

    They had the dollar reach 1.60 to 1 €, which it did in reality, but they had nothing about the reverse move.

      anyone know when this was made? From the mention of Chirac and the mention of a "possible collapse" in housing, I assume 2006/2007
