"Unraveled":

Just days before Bernard Madoff captured the nation's attention as the largest Ponzi schemer in U.S. history, Marc Dreier, a prominent Manhattan attorney, was arrested for orchestrating a massive fraud that netted over $750 million. Unraveled is set in the "gilded cage" of Dreier's Upper East Side penthouse, where the Court has ordered him confined to house arrest until his sentencing day. Structured around candid interviews with Dreier, the documentary weaves its narrative with cinema verité footage, revealing archival material, and innovative animation effects – building suspense as the countdown to Dreier’s day of judgment approaches.

Exclusive blogs from CNBC’s Senior Correspondent Scott Cohn and “Unraveled” Director Marc Simon available at: www.unraveled.cnbc.com
