Falciani’s Tax Bomb hits the small screen! This latest Polar Star Films production will be broadcast next Tuesday 7th at 21:55h on TV3 within the slot Sense Ficció.

The documentary feature film, co-produced between Polar Star Films (Barcelona) and Gebrueder Beetz (Berlin) for several international broadcasters, analyzes the problem of tax evasion and fraud through the story of Hervé Falciani, the IT engineer who leaked the names of 130,000 secret accounts from HSBC Geneva violently rocking international politics and the global banking system.

The broadcast is accompanied by the launch of the webdoc “Falciani´s SwissLeaks – The Great Bank Data Robbery”, that uses the fascinating story of whistleblower Hervé Falciani to offer an inside view into the complex issue of tax fraud to a broad public in an emotional and playful manner. Through a combination of text, video and interactive elements, the user experiences how Falciani’s spectacular disclosures affect him personally; as well as being continually provoked to question our own attitude towards tax compliance, betrayal and whistleblowing. A great transmedia experience!

The documentary boasts unprecedented access to Falciani and the main players of this story, including convicts, tax officers and interantional ministers. It analyses the whole story, from Falciani’s motivation for stealing the data from HSBC through to the escape and capture of our protagonist. It also demonstrates his collaboration with European institutions in the fight against tax evasion whilst exposing the role played by governments and ministers in the publication, or not, of data and criminal cases.
