MOVIE & DOCUMENTARY

We've all seen fictionalised screen adaptations of factual books. This one has everything: high finance, smoke-filled conspiratorial rooms of politicians, regulators, bankers, all caught with their pants down; court rooms; judges; irresponsible underwriters; devious claims managers; high-flyer competent and incompetent lawyers; low-flying ordinary victims of all-too-human uninsured tragedies (asbestos, soil pollution, air pollution, water pollution, carcinogens, other health hazards); charismatic characters, knife-edge dramas… You'll wonder why it took more than twenty years to get made.

The raw facts and evidence on film, with the real people who were really there. Compelling and thought-provoking. We'll be going up close and personal with the actual people who lived it and made it all happen. I'll be asking the right questions — blunt, sharp, discomforting! There have been a few documentaries, of very limited scope and now all stale, on parts of the Lloyd's of London crisis. This one will be comprehensive and definitive. A real eye-opener.
