He speaks with prominent journalists Jon Snow (from Channel 4) and Nicholas Shaxson (from Vanity Fair), as well as finance experts, politicians, academics, and street activists. From the complex, overlapping lobbying groups in London’s financial district to the fiery speeches of anti-tax haven government figures, startling hypocrisies come to light.
