Filmmaker Statement

I originally came across Gary through an article he had written for The Guardian. It was a fantastic piece explaining how he had made millions as a trader betting on economic disaster. I then saw some of his YouTube videos - he was a young man from a disadvantaged background, who had worked his way up to being one of the most successful traders in the world. He clearly had a great understanding of the economy and the disastrous course it was on. Then there was also his great charisma and intellect. I thought that his background, his rags to riches story, and his understanding of the economy were the perfect way to inform people of the huge problem of global wealth inequality that we all face. I decided that we had to make a documentary together.
