Subject: Futures traders in Chicago and the death of the 'open outcry' market
Director: James Allen Smith
We live in radically changing times - just go outside your virtua-house this evening and look upon the beautiful green sunset - and the world is becoming a more impersonal place. 80s movie buffs will recall Ferris Bueller and friends attending the options market on his eponymous Day Off - thanks to the computer, the frenzy of men shouting buy and sell at one another has largely gone away. So too has the money stream with which shrewd traders would line their pockets.
Floored provides a solid portrait of men who don't realize when the world is changing around them - one day they're essential, the next day they're replaced. How much responsibility do they place on themselves for being obsolete, and how much belongs to the world?
