The Price We Pay is inspired by Brigitte Alepin’s book La Crise fiscale qui vient. Director Harold Crooks blows the lid off the dirty world of corporate malfeasance with this incendiary documentary about the dark history and dire present-day reality of big-business tax avoidance, which has seen multinationals depriving governments of trillions of dollars in tax revenues by harboring profits in offshore havens. Tax havens, originally created by London bankers in the 50s, today put over half the world’s stock of money beyond reach of public treasuries.
Director
Harold Crooks attended McGill University, the Delhi School of Economics, and The London Film School. He has co-written for several documentary features, including The Corporation (03), which won the Audience Award at Sundance. His directorial debut, Surviving Progress (11), premiered at the Festival. The Price We Pay (14) is his second documentary feature.
