Introducing

This screening is organised by EFAD and will be attended by director Fredrik Gertten who will stay for a question and answer session.

Synopsis

All societies are based on the idea of the social contract. We give up some of our individual freedom to get the protection of our state. We elect representatives to govern us. We study, we work, we pay taxes. This should pay off, but then there are those who break the rules - who make the real profit, extract the wealth, create frustration and division in society.
