Terry Jones, a founding member of the Monty Python comedy team, targets the global financial system in a provocative new documentary and warns of more meltdowns if the system isn't fixed soon.

Jones, co-writer and co-director of "Boom Bust Boom," uses puppetry and animation to get the message across — as well as interviews with economist Paul Krugman, actor John Cusack, Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane and others.

The film, which cost under £400,000 ($594,320) to make, is getting its first public screening at Britain's University of Manchester on March 31. Its producers say they are in talks to release it in cinemas and on video channels.
