What would happen if a group of artists decided to play the financial system at it's own game- hacking into the debt market to buy and then blow up £1.2m of high interest debt?
This mischievous feature documentary produced by artist and filmmaker team Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn, tells the story of a community coming together to make their own currency and open a ‘peoples’ bank. In doing so they examine how money and debt is created and ask important questions about how the system of money creation might be altered in our favour.
Their aim? To uncover the true nature of the UK’s household debt emergency, where now more than ever, the economic crisis is threatening to push millions more into debt.
Tonight's screening will be followed by a Q&A with the Bank Job team, Economist Ann Pettifor and our Executive Director, Heidi Chow.
