Jonathan Jarvis is a designer based in Los Angeles. He is practicing in the Graduate Media Design Program at the Art Center College of Design. He constructed a great introduction to the financial crisis. It can be found at "The Crisis of Credit Visualized."
He omits the role of the government, which I would not, but the omission is understandable given the time frame devoted to the topic. If you make it too long, nobody will watch it.
I also find it valuable because it explains how markets can misfunction, and I believe that it comes very close to describing the origin of the financial crisis in England, Ireland, and several other European countries where the government's influence in the housing market was less significant than in the U.S.
I give it four and a half stars out of five.

That was a very good video. I liked it for its simple explanation for everyone to understand and the visualization was very good also. It describes the financial crisis throughly and doesn't leave out any important part, except maybe the role of government like you said. But that role is not that important in understanding the basis of the crisis. I'd give it 4.9/5. excellent work.
