In 1933, the United States government ordered Americans to surrender much of their privately held gold. What began as an emergency response to the Great Depression became one of the most controversial financial actions in American history.

In this documentary, we explore the banking crisis of 1933, the Emergency Banking Act, Executive Order 6102, and the gold revaluation that followed. Was it a necessary rescue of the financial system, or a dramatic expansion of government power over money?

Watch until the end to discover how the events of 1933 continue to influence debates about currency, inflation, and financial freedom today.
