The documentary uncovers a hidden chapter of the art world. On September 15 2008—the day Lehman Brothers collapsed, the worst financial shock since 1929—Damien Hirst’s Sotheby’s auction sold over £60 million of his work and £111 million in total across two days, marking the peak of the contemporary art bubble in a record‑breaking event that reshaped art investment.
