'''''Creed of Gold''''' is a 2014 film about fictional corruption at the [Federal Reserve](/source/Federal_Reserve). It was produced by [Crystal Creek Media](/source/Crystal_Creek_Media) and directed by [Daniel Knudsen](/source/Daniel_Knudsen). Filming of ''Creed of Gold'' took place in several locations near [Indianapolis, Indiana](/source/Indianapolis%2C_Indiana) and [Detroit, Michigan](/source/Detroit) with some additional photography taking place on location in New York City.

== Plot == 
''Creed of Gold'' begins with a flashback during the [Bolshevik revolution](/source/Bolshevik_revolution) in Russia. A reporter hides a list with names of powerful bankers who financed the revolution. The list is discovered seventy years later by a Russian history professor. The professor's son Adam eventually inherits the list and begins to research the names on it. Adam Smith is an incoming freshman at a fictional American school called Havenhurst University. In his Money & Banking class he is assigned to work on a term paper with Kirsten Stanford. Kirsten is a wealthy girl from upstate New York and her father is on the board of governors of the [Federal Reserve](/source/Federal_Reserve). The two do not see eye to eye but eventually work things out and begin researching together. Their work is being thwarted by a greedy Federal Reserve board member named Stuart Wornwall. Wornwall is secretly stealing money from the [Federal Reserve Bank of New York](/source/Federal_Reserve_Bank_of_New_York) by programing the computer system to misappropriate funds every time the Federal Reserve buys and sells bonds from the [US Government](/source/US_Government). Adam and Kirsten uncover Wornwall's family history through the list. This discovery links Wornwall's family fortune back to the offenses committed during the [Bolshevik revolution](/source/Bolshevik_revolution).

The film was released August 12, 2014.
