The long-awaited documentary “Falciani’s Tax Bomb” hits the big screen! This documentary about the real story of Swiss Leaks will premiere in dok.fest Munich on Saturday 9th May. And if that were not enough, it will also open DocsBarcelona at the end of the month and it is selected at the prestigious Sheffield Doc/Fest.

“Falciani’s Tax Bomb” comes at a perfect time and is of great relevance given the big impact that the leaks of secret Swiss accounts has had on international policies and on the global banking system. 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.
