Maxed Out takes us on a journey deep inside the American debt-style, where everything seems okay as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. Sure, most of us may have that sinking feeling that something isn't quite right, but we're told not to worry. After all, there's always more credit!

VIBE

This documentary feels like a cold splash of water, exposing the predatory nature of the credit industry. It's a stark, eye-opening look at how debt traps individuals and fuels a system that benefits the few at the expense of the many.
