Money & Speed: Inside the Black Box.  Brilliant documentary by Marije Meerman about the flash crash of 6th May 2010 and the speed of algorithmic trading. A particular highlight is the excellent ‘hidden camera’ footage of the windowless and nameless data centres that house these algorithms. Very relevant considering the flash crash of 2 days ago was even faster - just 16 seconds.
