Some films highlighted include 'The Big Short', which helps demystify the 2008 financial crisis; 'Rogue Trader', a true story that illustrates the importance of proper financial compliance; and 'Confessions of a Shopaholic', a lighter-heartened film portraying the drawbacks of overspending. They also analyse general themes like rags-to-riches narratives, use of money in films to induce certain emotions and the potential educational value of these films for children or those unfamiliar with complex financial constructs.
