2008 was turbulent and filled with change, the effects of the economic crash on October 22, 2008 and subsequent financial crisis are still being felt around the world today. During this year, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States; becoming the first black man to win the position. The 29th Summer Olympics took place in Beijing, China while oil prices soared to record highs. Emmy-winning TV show Breaking Bad premiered in 2008 along with The Mentalist and Canadian-made shows Flashpoint and Fringe. This was a great year for film too, with blockbuster favourites The Dark Knight, Hurt Locker, Wall-E and Iron Man as well as award-winning Slumdog Millionaire and The Wrestler.
