Rent The Shock Doctrine (2009)

The Shock Doctrine seeks to explain the rise of disaster capitalism: the exploitation of moments of crisis in vulnerable countries by governments and big business. The film traces the doctrine's beginnings in the radical theories of Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago and its subsequent implementation over the past 40 years in countries as disparate as Augusto Pinochet's Chile, Boris Yeltsin's Russia, Margaret Thatcher's Great Britain, and most recently through the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.
