MARTIN ARMSTRONG, once a US based trillion dollar financial adviser, used the number pi to predict economic turning points with precision. When some big New York bankers asked him to join the club to help them to take over Russia, he refused to join the manipulation. A few days later the FBI stormed his offices accusing him of a 3 billion dollar Ponzi Scheme - an attempt to stop him talking about the real Ponzi Scheme of debts that the US has build up over the years and which he thinks starts to collapse after October 1, 2015, a mayor pi turning point he is predicting.

Reviews
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
randomanon An incoherent mess. This so called "documentary" does not present any coherent, logical reasons to believe Mr. Armstrong is anything but the runner of a Ponzi scheme. However, this is not how the story is presented to the viewer, instead all kinds of conspiracies (and incoherent predictions) are suggested. Almost all of the people being interviewed appear to be somehow involved in the scheme. Any Ponzi huckster needs to be able to BS his way to the top, and to cover his BS with even greater BS. If Mr. Armstrong made valid predictions, they should review a set of verifiably published predictions, not allow the people to pick and describe what predictions they made and how uncannily accurate they were.In every Ponzi scheme, a lot of people did not believe it actually was a Ponzi scheme even after it was revealed to be such. There are a great number of Ponzi schemes involving algorithms purportedly predicting the market. Using the value of pi to predict markets is a ridiculous concept. In every Ponzi scheme, one essential question is that if somebody can predict the market, why would that person share this information with anybody? If the predictions become common knowledge, the market adjusts to these predictions, and there are no gains to be had.
David I An amazing and true story of what happens when you take on the banking cartel. The powers that be have tried very hard to make sure this documentary would never be made and even after it was made they tried to stop it from being shown in American theaters.Martin has vowed to make sure his computer models will be safe for use by all of humanity and not just by the big banks for their financial gain.I watched it twice. Thank you Martin Armstrong for your courage and resilience to endure what they did you to.
park-88487 Highly recommend this movie. It is well conceived and tells a tale of a very complicated financial scandal in an easily understood way without getting bogged down in tedious details. If it is true, then we need to be afraid, very afraid. Martin Armstrongs treatment at the hands of the law enforcement agencies was appalling to say the least. He is a difficult person to understand. I believe he thinks in a completely different way to most of us and is able to see the big picture. I salute his braveness in the face of adversity. That he could come out of prison and carry on his important work without showing bitterness is inspiring .A convincing and well told story of political and financial corruption at the highest levels of government and the banking industry. A real eye opener.
filmtravel101 The documentary was very well shot and the director and editor did an excellent job of keeping it insightful and provocative with a fantastic musical score. I was quite impressed with the flow of the film and surprised at the tempo as it covers a vast array of information on Martin Armstrong and his life and struggles. Kudos to the film makers. I was one of the lucky ones that caught a sneak preview in California.Truly a remarkable film about a genius that is becoming a legend around the business world on the level of a "Tesla - John Adams". I have followed Martin Armstrong's career for a long time and used his advice to understand the global markets in a completely different unique manner that hopefully politicians and governments will follow to improve society rather than trying to avoid the same mistakes. I've had the pleasure of also using his advice in my global trading business and also in my personal life and feel blessed that he continues to thrive and share his wisdom especially after so many unfortunate challenges. Keep up the great work. Carpe Diem!!I highly recommend this film especially all the interviews that make it a very personal film, and it is hard to believe that it is not playing all over the USA.
