"With an elegiac poignancy (New York Times), director James Allen Smith's Floored captures the waning heyday of the Chicago Trading Pits (ABC News) and tells the bizarre and gripping stories of the traders overgrown kids with money, brains and a pathological need to release stress (Barron's) whose chaotic, audacious and thrill-seeking way of life has all but vanished with the recent shift toward automated computerized stock trading. A lively documentary about a profession that has almost been wiped out (Bloom-berg.com), Floored takes audiences into the lives of the Chicago trading floor's everyman from those who have gracefully adapted to the new age of electronic trading to those who have defiantly refused to change and offers a fascinating examination of the never-ending pursuit of the American Dream. Prairie Miller of News Blaze calls Floored a must-see about greed, material obsession, perpetually unfulfilled lust for loot, shoving matches, and suicide. DVD Special Features: Over 10 minutes of raw, unedited footage from the Chicago trading floors"
