Fed up with a rigged system that keeps people in debt, a filmmaker-and-artist couple team up with their local community to take on the world of finance.

Fed up with a rigged system that keeps people in debt, a filmmaker-and-artist couple team up with their local community to take on the world of finance by setting up a bank, printing their own money and blowing up a million pounds worth of high interest debt.

Funny, mischievous and ultimately inspiring, Dan Edelstyn and Hilary Powell’s latest feature is an eye-opening investigation into the dark world of debt. As their community in Walthamstow, London comes together to create their own currency, the couple examine how money and debt is created in our economy, and question whether the system of money creation might be altered in their favour.
