This new documentary takes stock of the dot-com boom and bust and asks the question \u0026#8211; Who benefited?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\t\u003cp\u003eBy turns humorous and scathing, Boom delves into the ironies and contradictions of the \u0026#8220;New Economy\u0026#8221; and delivers a potent social critique that is ambitious in its scope while remaining close to the human scale. The viewer moves easily between dot-com party crashing at one end of the economic spectrum and painful moments with evicted families at the other.
