OFFICIAL TRAILER

Don't skip the line at 1:37.

Based on the best-selling book by Fortune reporters Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind, Director Alex Gibney reveals how top executives of America's seventh-largest company walked away with one billion dollars leaving investors and employees with nothing.

Note: I spent an hour scouring Youtube for the very best scenes from the full documentary. You can watch every clip on this page in 10 minutes.

GUYS WITH SPIKES

Start watching at 35 seconds for the story of a division president who sold all his stock during a divorce so he could marry his stripper girlfriend who was pregnant with his child, making him the richest Enron executive after the collapse, worth more than $400 million.
