"Stock Shock" Movie about Sirius XM Stock to Screen at L.A. International Women's Film Festival
Activist documentary about Wall Street and Sirius XM is racing up the red carpet toward indy awards.

Director Sandra Mohr takes Wall Street to the Movies

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 01, 2010 – When director Sandra Mohr decided to find out why her family's 401(k) was looking more like a 201(k) she probably had no idea she would be exposed to the corrupt underworld of hedge funds, criminal market managers, and greedy legislators. So what's a director to do? Make a movie about it, of course.
She's in good company. Michael Moore, Oliver Stone and Ridley Scott are all working on films about stock market manipulation and Wall Street schemes. But Sandra Mohr's “Stock Shock” was first out of the gate. The film will be featured at the "Los Angeles Women's International Film Festival" which takes place March 26-April 1st, 2010 at the Laemmles Sunset 5 Theaters in Hollywood, California.

The movie exposes a technique known as naked short selling, which has resulted in the collapse of the stock value of some of America’s most promising public companies. Sirius XM, often labeled as one of the most manipulated stocks in the market, is dissected in the movie. "Stock Shock" interviews individual investors who saw their stock price hit a high of $9.00/share and then plummet to a horrifying low of 5 cents in 2009.

Investors and fans of the movie claim "Stock Shock" has spurred a grassroots movement helping convince the SEC to address the issue of abusive naked short-selling. Since the movies release, Sirius XM stock has seen an increase of over 1000 percent.

It's no wonder. The reviews are impressive:

"Shocking and eye-opening!" says Jane Velez-Mitchell, Host of Issues on CNN Headline News.

"Stock Shock deserves an Academy Award," says radio host Jim Puplava of the Financial Sense Newshour.
