For 2008, I think one of the most approachable references is the PBS "Inside the Meltdown": https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meltdown/

The 2012 lookback has a bit more depth, since it had more time to do interviews and stuff: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/money-power-wall-str...

There's of course, "The Big Short" if you want a stupid 2-hour movie. But that movie glosses over so many details and is straight up hyperbole at many points... so its not "realistic" but maybe a better thing to watch if you really don't want to put in much effort?

I guess my post was based off of the Bloomberg blogpost "Looking for Tether’s Money" by Matt Levine. So read that for my original inspiration, though you may need a Bloomberg subscription to be able to read it.
