Film Synopsis
Stock markets are in freefall, the banks are teetering on the brink of
bankruptcy, the economy is dying... In a panic, the bankers send
out an urgent S.O.S. to the State and, with remarkable haste, the State
steps in to save them. It is the ordinary working man and woman
who will have to pick up the bill, to save the system that the banks
have ruined by their greed and recklessness. And so it is that
the poor stay poor and the rich get richer. 'Twas ever
thus...
