Broke is a documentary about sports stars who went from having millions of dollars to being broke and the mental anguish that comes along with this. The movie explores why this happens, mostly due to how many of the individuals lacked basic financial literacy skills. Students will develop 5 lessons / take-aways that they learned from the movie that the rest of us can learn from? They will discuss the themes and lessons shared regarding making responsible financial decisions, ways to gather information and explore how financial security (or lack of it) can have a major influence on mental health and well-being.
