MADOFF: The Monster of Wall Street

Q&A with filmmaker Joe Berlinger

Watch the first two episodes of Joe Berlinger’s sensational new documentary. This docuseries follows the rise and fall of financier Bernie Madoff, who orchestrated one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in Wall Street history.

"This pacy Netflix docu-series plays like a Hollywood thriller, with its trail of grimly fascinating testimonies and astonishing curveballs about the ‘financial serial killer’."
Chitra Ramaswamy, The Guardian

Academy Award and eight-time Emmy nominated filmmaker Joe Berlinger is one the leading nonfiction filmmakers of his generation and a pioneer in the genre of true crime documentaries. He has directed and produced landmark films such as: Brother’s Keeper, a Sundance and DGA Award-winner that broke new ground with its narrative storytelling techniques, Under African Skies, an Emmy-winning A&E Indie film about Paul Simon’s controversial recording of the seminal Graceland album during South Africa’s Apartheid regime, and Some Kind of Monster, an intimate portrait of Metallica that redefined the rockumentary genre and won the Independent Spirit Award. His Paradise Lost Trilogy, an HBO feature documentary series that led to the 2011 release of the wrongfully convicted West Memphis 3 after 18 and a half years on Arkansas’ death row, earned Berlinger multiple Emmy and Peabody awards, as well as an Academy Award Nomination.
