The Pit

The Pit explores one of the most primitive, yet highly ritualized arenas of the financial world, The New York Board of Trade. Billions of dollars of raw goods trade daily on the NYBOT floor, setting the worldwide price of commodities from cotton to coffee. In 2007, however, computerized trading platforms were introduced, threatening to make this historic marketplace obsolete. In 2005 filmmaker Johanna Lee spent six months as a NYBOT clerk, developing relationships with commodities traders which allowed her to bring cameras into the trading pits for the first time in NYBOT history. Student Film.
