Synopsis

Futures Past captures the power struggle between filmmaker Jordan Melamed
and his father, Leo Melamed, Holocaust survivor and kingpin of the Chicago
Mercantile Exchange. Set against the last days of trading in the legendary Chicago pits, what begins as a document of the end of an era becomes a deeply personal exploration by a son returning to “the kill or be killed” world he was raised in.
