Freakonomics is a 2010 documentary narrated by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) exploring how human behaviour responds to incentives.
Chad Troutwine, creator of the film assembled a team of renowned documentary gurus such as Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) who suggested adding the directorial team Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady (Jesus Camp) to put together a collection of interesting and sometimes hilarious case studies to make Freakonomics.
The film covers a wider range of topics from the idea that the name of a child will affect his/her success in later life and whether offering students cash prizes would make them achieve higher grades. These are just of a couple of examples of the intriguing subjects the film covers which were taken from the 2005 book also called Freakonomics.
