Synopsis
Betting on Zero (2016) is Ted Braun's documentary, available to watch online on iFILM. One hedge fund manager bets a billion dollars that a corporation is about to collapse.
Controversial investor Bill Ackman goes public with a claim that Herbalife is the largest pyramid scheme in history, then shorts the stock for a billion dollars to profit when it falls. Herbalife fires back, branding him a market manipulator out to bankrupt them. Braun follows both camps and goes down to where the numbers turn into people — the distributors who poured in their savings.
It's that rare finance documentary where an argument over a business model plays like a thriller, and the viewer is left to decide who's telling the truth. No voice-of-god verdict — just facts, faces and enormous sums of money. For anyone who devoured Inside Job. Stream Betting on Zero (2016) online on iFILM.
