Let's Make Money

Facciamo soldi

A journey to the center of international capitalism: Erwin Wagenhofer, whose We Feed the World was presented at CinemAmbiente 2006, takes us on a behind the scenes tour of global finance. In a protectionist system operating with Mafia-like rules, though wearing a liberalist suit, the governments of the rich countries, the banks and multinationals move and reinvest huge amounts of capital to grow and maintain their interests while the Third World falls deeper into debt and is stripped of its natural resources. Based on expert testimonies, the film reveals the inner workings of the mechanisms driving today's global economy.
