About:
An investigation into an audacious financial scandal.
The film screened as part of DOC NYC, for which our program notes read:
In one of the world’s biggest financial crimes, 3.5 billion dollars were stolen from a Malaysian government fund. Investigative reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Hollywood Reporter follow the money as it travels across the globe, financing everything from luxury real estate and decadent parties to Martin Scorsese’s THE WOLF OF WALL STREET. Capturing white-collar crime at its greedy best, Havana Marking and Sam Hobkinson’s explosive film is a tale of embezzlement, scams, and greed run amok.
