MUMBAI: Sony Pictures India will release the critically acclaimed documentary Inside Job in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore on 4 February to be followed by a subsequent rollout in other cities.

Inside Job is the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs.

Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, Inside Job traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia.

Directed by Charles Ferguson and narrated by Matt Damon, the film has been nominated for a Best Documentary Feature for the Academy Awards. It has also garnered eight other nominations at various critics awards including the San Diego Film Critics Society Awards and the Gotham Awards.

In India, the film was screened at the Mumbai Film Festival, last year. It was also screened at the prestigious film festivals of Cannes, Toronto and New York.
