The Price We Pay @ Festival du nouveau cin?ma

Le Prix à Payer (The Price We Pay) directed by Harold Crooks premieres at the Festival du nouveau cinéma on Wednesday 15th October at 7 pm.

Tax havens, originally created by London bankers in the 50s, today put over half the world’s stock of money beyond the reach of public treasuries. Nation states are being reshaped by this offshoring of the world’s wealth. Tax avoidance by big corporations and the wealth – citizens of nowhere for tax purposes – is paving the way to historic levels of inequality and placing the tax burden on the middle class and the poor. Crusading journalists, tax justice campaigners and former finance and technology  industry insiders speak frankly about the accelerating trends that are carrying the Western world to an unsustainable future.
